How to Create an Account: Parents and Guardians

Creating a parent/guardian account is an important first step in getting started with Codecraft Works. Below is a walkthrough of how to create your parent/guardian account, including the sign in options available to you, how to acquire the parent/guardian role, and how to change your display name.

Create an Account

Navigate to the login page. To create your account, you have three methods available to you:

• Log in with a Google account. You will be redirected to the Google Accounts Sign in page, where you can either enter your Google account credentials or choose an existing account to use.
• Log in with your Microsoft single sign-on account. You will be redirected to the Microsoft Sign in page, where you can enter your account credentials.
• Enter an email address of your choosing. This will prompt the app to send an email to the address you listed with a link to create your account.

Choosing any one of the three methods listed above will create your platform account. Once your account has been made, you will be redirected to the app homepage. This may take a few moments as the system sets up your account for the first time.

The process of creating an account is exactly the same as logging in regardless of the method you choose.

Obtain the Parent/Guardian Role

Next, you will need to choose your user role. User roles define what the account can or cannot do, and in this case, the parent/guardian role will allow you to make purchases on behalf of your student. Since purchases are intended to be made by adults, this is an important step in making sure your account has the correct permissions.

First, navigate to your user settings by selecting the “Account” option in the lower left corner of the site’s navigation bar.

From here, you will be directed to your Account page, which will allow you to view and change the information associated with your account. Set your user name and account type under the “Settings” tab.

Start with the User Role section. Parents should choose the Parent / Guardian role. Once you’ve selected the role, scroll to the bottom of the Settings section and select “Save Changes”.

Display Name, User Name, and Profile Image

You can also set your display name, user name, and profile image under the Settings tab.

Note: User Names can only be changed once, so double check to make sure you’ve chosen the correct name and spelled it correctly.

Display name: We use display names throughout the app to personalize each user’s work. It may be your real name or a pen name.

User Name: We use usernames as unique identifiers for profiles.
