Family & minors
Parents stay connected to what their kids do here — linked accounts, permissions, and approvals.
Linking accounts
- A parent links to a child's account from Family using the child's email — the child confirms the link.
- Accounts under 18 need an active family link for full community access.
Permissions (per child)
- Prayer wall — Public wall, Groups only, or Off.
- Groups — Join freely, Needs my approval, or Off. “Needs my approval” routes every group join through your approval queue and any leader approval the group requires.
- Messages — Anyone, Approved mentors only, or Off.
- Mentorship — whether they can request a mentor at all; requests route through your approval.
Approvals
When your child's action needs a decision — joining a group, starting a mentorship — it appears in your Family panel as a pending approval. Approving activates it (subject to any leader gate); declining removes it.
What kids can't do
- Join adults-only groups — blocked at the database, not just hidden.
- Message outside their permission — enforced server-side.
- Create groups without group permission.
Youth-flagged groups welcome minors but always require leader approval, so a responsible leader vets every young member joining.
