Assign Parent Role (Manually)

For a user to have the parent role, they must have a relationship to a student.

Select Core.
Select People finder.
In the Type a namefield, enter and select the name of the individual you want to work with. The selected individual's profile page appears.
Select the Contact Card tab.
Under Relationships, select + Add relationship.
For I am adding a, choose Parent.
Determine if the parent should have parental access and/or be listed as a parent.
- Parental Access gives the user the parent role and access to information published to parents.
  
  If an individual doesn't have parental access, the individual's relationship as "parent" is shown only to inform the school. Consider withholding parental access from a non-custodial, estranged parent who shouldn't view or access information that the custodial parent can access.

Indicate if the parent is An Existing User in the system or A New User that needs to be added.
Search for the user or enter the necessary information to add the parent as a new user.
