Link Additional Playground Accounts

Linking Playground accounts allows users to use a single sign-on (username and password) to log in to all of their Playground accounts. Below are a few example scenarios where a user may have multiple Playground accounts:

  • A user is both a parent and teacher at the same center

  • A user is a parent at two or more centers that use Playground

  • A user is a parent of two or more families at the same center

  • A user is a teacher at one center and a parent at another center using Playground

  • A user is a teacher at two or more centers that use Playground

🚨 The exact same email address must be utilized across all accounts in order for the link accounts to work.

  1. Have the Administrator at the center add the user to all of their roles (ie. teacher, guardian, etc).
    ​

  2. The user should use the steps above to set-up the initial Playground account with a password.
    ​

  3. For all subsequent accounts, the user will receive an email to create an account for all additional accounts.
    ​

  4. Open the email and click the blue Create Account button.
    ​

  5. The user will be asked to enter their name to link to the existing Playground account.
    ​

  6. Once their name is entered, click Link Account, as seen below.
