Do you need to quickly assign passwords to jmc families, giving them access to the Family portal? Once a primary contact is created and linked to a student, office professionals have flexible tools at their fingertips for creating and sharing login information for families, giving them access to the world of information in the jmc Family portal. Assign credentials on a case-by-case basis, assign and share passwords in bulk for all of your families at once or allow families to manage their own passwords to open the lines of communication through the jmc Family portal.

Assign Passwords Individually from Edit Contacts

On the "Edit Contacts" page, you have the flexibility to add new contacts to your jmc database or update existing contact information, including usernames and passwords. By default, the page sets the contact's last name as the username for simplicity. From there, you can easily edit a contact's username or password, or add a new password for a contact individually.
