Is there a way by which the Parents can access only their own children’s Planner. At present when they click the Learn>Planner, they can choose any class and view all its planners.
If I uncheck any of the highlighted permission (Lesson Planner_viewAllEditMyClasses) then the parent can’t view even their own children’s Planner.
This is odd, as parents should probably never be given the highlighted permissions! It is one of the oldest actions in Gibbon, and so predates certain controls. @ross what do you think, one we should fix, or have I missed something.
However, parent access should work just with Lesson Planner_viewMyChildrensClasses enabled. I’ve tested this in the dev cut of v20 (which should work the same as v18 and 19), and it works fine.
Can you provide a screenshot of what your parent sees?
Keep in mind that in each individual lesson you can say whether students and parents have access to that lesson, so check that too.
I am sooooooooo sorry for the late reply. Things have been crazy with the online classes and all. So I have made two test students in Grade 8 and 9 with a Test family and father etc.
When I login as Father, I am able to see planner for Grade 1 as well. Pls see below:
If you untick Lesson Planner_viewAllEditMyClasses and <code class="CodeInline">Lesson Planner_viewMyClasses, and leave Lesson Planner_viewAllEditMyChildrensClasses` ticked this should enable the expected behaviour of parents only seeing their children’s classes. The other permissions are intended for teachers and students.
Glad to hear it’s working! No worries, as Ross mentioned, normally the system would automatically disable the other checkboxes, but this is a particularly venerable set of code that hadn’t implemented that safety measure yet. We’ll see about getting this fixed for future versions : )

Hi Ross,
Amazing, always proactive in thinking.
Please am also affected by this topic, parents with more than one child can not sign to Gibbon to access their children works, what are we getting wrong for parents to login?
