Purpose of this feature
Understanding access levels helps schools, parents, and students know exactly what information is visible to whom — and ensures the right people have the right access.
Access levels at a glance
Student (own school-registered email) — Marks, timetable, attendance, and discipline. View only.
Parent (own school-registered email) — All of the above, plus finance information and the ability to edit personal details.
Viewer (added by a parent) — Marks, attendance, and discipline only. View only. No access to finance or personal information.
How to add a Viewer
A parent can grant a trusted person — such as a grandparent or au pair — limited view access to the Student Portal. To add a Viewer:
Log in to the Student Portal via the d6 Communicator App.
Click Your Profile.
Scroll down to Add Viewer.
Enter the Viewer’s email address or mobile number.
Confirm to send the invitation.
The Viewer will receive an invitation to create their own login and access the portal with limited permissions.
Frequently asked questions
Can a Viewer see financial information?

How many Viewers can a parent add?
Parents can add multiple Viewers. Each Viewer receives their own login invitation and accesses the portal independently using their own email address or mobile number.
Can a Viewer edit any information?
