Maintain ParentAccess Accounts

This topic explains how to make changes to a user account for ParentAccess and the Frontline ProgressBook Parent & Student app, including updating account information, disabling an account, removing a student from an account, unlocking an account, deleting an account, and resetting a password.

Note: Since parent and student accounts are shared between ParentAccess and the Frontline ProgressBook Parent & Student app, all changes made to an account simultaneously affect the parent/student’s ability to access both ParentAccess and the Frontline ProgressBook Parent & Student app.

Note: You cannot reset passwords to student Google OAuth accounts.
