Nonparticipating Parent

A Nonparticipating Parent is someone that logs on to the system, may or may not belong to any groups themselves, and is a parent for one or more children. They do not have a Christmas List. They can view their group(s), if they are members of any, and the groups of the child(ren) that they are a parent for. This is a nonparticipant with children.


We'll call this a NONPARTICIPATING PARENT user.

If this user is added to any group as a participant, they will be converted to a PARTICIPATING PARENT.
