How do I give parent account additional admin rights?

Updated over 2 months ago

Parent Admins are parents with extended user rights

School Admin can give a parent user one or all of the following rights:


  • School-wide posting rights (when parents are restricted from making school-wide posts)

  • Create and manage Groups

  • Create and manage Events

  • Create and manage Volunteer opportunities

  • Manage Clubs & Programs

These access rights are created on an account basis and designed to provide parent leads access to features they need to engage the parent community.

How to Set a Parent Admin

  1. Go to Profiles & Accounts > Parent Accounts.

  2. Click Edit Account for the account you want to grant with additional rights.

  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Look for a section on Additional Rights.

  4. Check the rights you want to grant for the parent account.

  5. Click Update.


Can Parent be added as an Admin to a Classroom?

First, grant the parent Group Admin rights. A parent with Group Admin rights can be added to be Classroom Admin in their child's Classroom.

Go to Classroom > Edit Classroom > Classroom Admins (edit)

Add Parent Admin's name to the Classroom Admins list.

Click Save.

Note: A Group Admin does not get automatic admin rights to the classroom.
