How do I know what level of access I have?
Your views in the Family Hub will depend on which level of access your student has granted you, either general access or all access. If you have general access and attempt to view information that’s restricted to all access, you’ll receive an on-screen message to notify you and the opportunity to request access from your student. View How do I view student information from a Family/Other account? for more details.
