Roles & permissions

What it's about

Every family has admins and members. Members see a tidy view and can use everyday features fully (events, tasks, shopping …). Setup (homes, parenting schedule, lists, categories …) is done by admins.

Why it's here

Not everyone needs to see the whole setup – that keeps the app simple for most people. Anyone who should contribute more gets specific areas unlocked by the admin.

How it works

As an admin, open a member under Family, in the Additional permissions section, and unlock individual admin areas. Permissions only take effect for areas whose module is active (see Modules). Managing the family, modules, and granting permissions stay reserved for admins.
