What is a full student account and a limited student account?

Edited

Students can have either a limited account or a full account.

By default, students are set up with a limited account. The billpayer controls these permissions and can change them at any time.

What is the difference between a limited and full student account?

The key difference is how much control the student has over bookings and account actions.

Limited account (default)

A limited account is designed for students who only need to attend lessons.

They can:

  • Attend lessons booked for them

  • Send and receive messages

They cannot:

  • Book, reschedule, or cancel lessons

  • Accept or reject bookings

  • Leave reviews

  • Report a tutor

Full account

A full account gives the student the same access as a billpayer.

They can:

  • Attend lessons

  • Send and receive messages

  • Request bookings

  • Accept or reject bookings

  • Cancel or reschedule bookings

  • Leave reviews

  • Report a tutor

How do I change a student’s account type?

To change a student’s access controls, navigate to Student accounts.

Then, click Change account type, which will allow you to choose between giving your student limited or full access.
