Parent Portal Registration - Permission to View, Validate, Challenge, or Decline Parents request to register for the Parent Portal.
- View: This permission allows the User to view a Parent’s registration request. The User will only be able to view a Parent’s request if he/she has access to the roster on which the associated student resides. For example, a District Level User would be able view all Parent requests since he/she has access to all students in the district. A School Level User would be able to view only Parent requests for the students in that school. A Teacher Level User would be able to view only Parent requests for the students on his/her roster.
- Validate: This permission allows the User to approve a Parent’s request for an account, thus granting the parent access to view student information.
- Challenge: This permission allows the User to challenge a Parent’s request for an account. A challenge might be placed for varying reasons as established by the district. Once challenged, the request must be validated or declined by a User with permission to do so. (See Parent Portal Challenges permissions)
- Decline: This permission allows the User to deny a Parent request for an account, preventing the parent from logging in to access student information.
Parent Portal Challenges: Permission to View, Validate, or Decline a Parent’s request that has been challenged by a User with the permission to challenge.
- View: This permission allows the User to view a challenge to a Parent’s request for an account. The User will only be able to view a challenge if he/she has access to the roster on which the associated student resides.
- Validate: This permission allows the User to investigate the challenge and approve the Parent’s request for an account, thus granting the parent access to view student information.
- Decline: This permission allows the User to investigate the challenge and deny the Parent’s request for an account, preventing the parent from accessing student information.
