Third-Party and Child Account Access

Child and third-party accounts have restricted access to the information within OurFamilyWizard.   These accounts allow children, grandparents, stepparents, and other family members to:

  1. View the family calendar, including parenting schedules, holidays, and public events created by parents.
  2. Use the message board to send and receive messages with other users. Child and third-party accounts do not have access to the correspondence between co-parents.
  3. Create journal entries, including both Moments and Check-Ins. They can also view journal entries that were shared with them.

Note: Child and third-party accounts have no access to the Expense Log and Info Bank portions of the OurFamilyWizard website.
