# Switching Between Accounts

Do you manage a school while your child also attends classes at another school? Or does your child take lessons at several different institutions?

ActiveNow lets you manage everything in one place. You can switch roles smoothly — moving between parent, instructor, and school administrator panels — and switch between schools to check your children's schedules or review outstanding payments.

## How to open the role switcher

Click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select *Change role* from the menu that appears.

A panel will slide in from the top of the page showing all the roles you have in the system.

## Adding your own instructor or client panel at a school you manage

To add your own instructor panel, follow the standard steps for [adding an instructor](/en/getting-started/adding-instructors-to-the-system.md).

To add your own client panel, follow the standard steps for [adding a participant](/en/getting-started/adding-participants-to-the-system.md).

{% hint style="warning" %}
For all your panels to appear together in the role switcher, the email address you used to register as an administrator **must be the same** as the one used for the instructor or client panel.
{% endhint %}

## Adding a panel from another school

Are you an instructor at another school and want to see both calendars in one place? Or does your child attend classes at multiple schools and you want to manage all payments from a single account?

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**If the school is already registered in ActiveNow**

Contact the instructor or school manager and ask them to send you an invitation to the system.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**If the school is not yet registered in ActiveNow**

Open the role switcher and click *Add another school*. Fill in the school's contact details. The ActiveNow team will contact the school and work to get them set up — so you can manage everything in one place.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
