Family Groups are used to allow members who share a family or a household to perform administration tasks for each other without having to sign in separately. By default the adult members in any family group can see and perform administration tasks for any member of the family. If there is no adult in the family group, one of the children in the family group can be set up as the ‘Lead’ family member and that user’s login can be used to administer the whole family.
This guide is for administrators to create and edit family groups. Ordinary users can only create or add themselves to a family group at the time of registration; after registration these tasks must be performed by a club administrator.
