Adding Multiple Guardians to a Participant Profile
Overview
You can now give more than one guardian access to the same participant’s profile, invoices, and related data. This feature is especially helpful for families where parents or guardians manage a child’s account separately, such as divorced or separated parents.
Each guardian will have their own login and payment information, while still accessing the same participant data.
Why This Feature Exists
-
Allows multiple guardians to manage the same participant
-
Prevents access issues for families with separate households
-
Keeps payment methods and transactions private per guardian
