Hi. I have an account on my family tree as does my husband but we seem to have different options when adding items to the tree. For example, he can add in details about my father i.e. parent details but my side bar shows create a new family for this person. I cant see where to change or view permissions. Can anyone help? Thanks

This might be because your husband founded the tree? The founder has unlimited access to all parts of the family, but other people who are invited to edit the tree cannot add members who are not blood-relatives of the founder or their spouse.

I know this can be annoying, but maybe Family Echo will change this in future?

Hope this helps!
