IN BRIEF
Staff members can revoke Customer Portal/Mobile App login access for a secondary user from the Family details in the Office Portal. This is used when a secondary user should no longer have access to a Family account.
Overview
Secondary users may be granted access to log into a Family account through the Customer Portal or Mobile App. When access should no longer remain active, a staff member can revoke that user's login access from the Family details in the Office Portal.
Staff members can revoke secondary access, but they cannot grant secondary access or send or resend invitations to secondary users. The Primary Guardian must send new invitations when secondary access needs to be restored.
Important Note: If Customer Portal access is manually revoked by the Primary Guardian or a staff member for a secondary guardian with saved payment information, the System will delete all payment methods associated with that guardian.
Accessing the Feature
- From the Office Portal, go to FAMILIES.
- Locate the family that includes the secondary user whose access needs to be revoked.
- Select the pencil/edit icon next to the family to open the Family details.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Manually revoking access at Primary Guardian’s request
- From the FAMILIES page, select the pencil/edit icon next to the family whose secondary user access needs to be removed.
- Locate the secondary user in the Family details.
- Select Actions to the right of the user to display the available action options.
- Select Revoke Login.
- The System will revoke the user's Customer Portal/Mobile App login access for that Family account.
- The user will receive an email notifying them that their access has been revoked.
- The email will direct the user to contact the Primary Guardian of the account with any questions.
Access automatically revoked due to Primary Guardian changes
The System will automatically revoke all secondary access to a Family account in either of the following situations:
- The Primary Guardian is changed on the account.
- The Family Merge tool is used to combine multiple family accounts.
When this happens, the Primary Guardian must send new invitations to restore secondary access for those users.
Secondary access limitations for staff members
Staff members can revoke secondary login access from the Family details in the Office Portal. However, staff members cannot perform the following actions for secondary users:
- Grant secondary access
- Send invitations
- Resend invitations
The Primary Guardian must manage secondary user invitations from the Customer Portal or Mobile App.
Saved payment information
If Customer Portal access is manually revoked for a secondary guardian with saved payment information, the System will delete all payment methods associated with that guardian. This applies when access is revoked by either:
- The Primary Guardian
- A staff member
