Link parents to learners
Link each parent or guardian to their children, one at a time from a member profile or many at once from a pasted list, so they can follow their children’s learning.
- 1
Open the learner’s profile
Select Members in the sidebar and select the learner. The Member Profile shows Parents and guardians, with each linked parent and their relationship. You need the Center Administrator or People Administrator role, or Department Administrator for learners in your Departments.

Add a parent
Select Add parent. In Parent email or username, type the parent’s address. For a parent who is new to the center, also fill in Parent full name. Choose the Relationship: Mother, Father, Guardian or Other.
- 3
Save the link
Select Save. A parent who is already a member is linked at once (Parent link saved). A new address is invited as a parent and gets an activation email to set a password (Parent invited and linked). Parents who only follow their children do not count toward your member limit.
- 4
Change or remove a link
Select Edit next to a parent to change the relationship. Select Remove, then Remove again in Remove this parent?, to end the link: the parent stops seeing that child straight away.
- 5
See a parent’s children
Open the parent’s own profile from Members. Children lists every learner they are linked to, with the relationship.

Paste a list of parents
To link many families at once, open Settings > Parents and go to Import parents. Paste one row per line: the learner (email address, username or code), the parent’s email address or username, the parent’s full name and the relationship. Separate the values with commas or tabs; an empty relationship means Guardian.

Preview, then import
Select Preview. Each row shows what will happen: Link existing member, Invite new parent, Already linked, or the reason it cannot be imported. Nothing changes yet. Select Import to invite the new parents and link every row without an error.
