How do I give parent account additional admin rights?

Updated over a month 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 are parents restricted from making school-wide posts)

  • Create and manage Groups

  • Create and manage Events

  • Create and manage Volunteer opportunities

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.
