Once you’ve added the Authorized Approver to your Greenlight account, you can grant them access to help manage the older adult and child’s account by following the steps below:

   2. Tap “My Family”
   3. Tap on the Authorized Approver’s name
   4. Check the box next to the family member you’d like to grant permission for

They will then be able to manage the older adult’s Greenlight debit card if they have one, and monitor their linked external accounts (to review transactions and set account alerts). 

You can also grant permission to the Authorized Approver to have access to view and manage your linked external accounts as the Primary by:

1. 1. Tap “Settings” next to your monitored accounts section on your home dashboard
   2. Tap “Permissions”
   3. Here, you can toggle on/off the approver’s access to “Share monitored accounts”, “Share account balances”, or “Share transactions”
