Helpful Hints

  • When you are adding students to a Parent User, only students who are currently in a school that is marked as using Parents Module will be included.
  • The "For Parents Module" field can be changed on the Setup>Schools>Modify screen.
  • Parent user accounts can now be marked as administrator accounts. These accounts can still log in when Parent Module is in Admins-Only mode.


User Overview

The user/logon ID for a parent/student user in the parent module is set up by going in to Parent Access>Setup>Users>Create/Modify User screen.

The user is attached to specific students within your district, which tells Genesis who the user has permission to view.

Security is set up for each student that is attached to the user using Roles that can be attached to the students tied to the parent portal logon.


Security and Roles Overview

The Parent Module uses roles in order to grant access to information in the parent module.


The role's permissions are then assigned to a student which will dictate whether the Parent User has to access to that screen for their student in the Parent Module.

To modify a role, you do so via Parent Access>Setup>Roles>Modify Role.
