Trusted List Question

I am on my sister's Trusted List  (I thought! .... but when I go to add children to names on the aunt/uncle level I can't do it.  It works OK on the great-great aunt/uncle level & sometimes on the great aunt/uncle level.   I've read about problems with being given access to an entire level of someone's family tree....  Did WikiTree recently change so you have to be given a new Trusted OK at each level.  That WOULD make sense, but I don't see WHERE I can find out about this.   I'm actually running the ruling account in my sister Norma's name because she's the one that's been doing the collecting her whole life.... but realized many times I say things that she would NOT & that I should be doing it in my own name!   So there will be no trouble getting Norma to put me on the Trusted List.  I just wonder how many times I have to do it?

Janet, if you are on your sister's trusted list, that generally means that you are on the trusted list for her profile.  You would need to be on the trusted list for ALL the profiles she has added for your family to be able to work on private profiles for them.  When you mention the great-great type levels, those are probably open profiles, so any member can work on them without being on the trusted list.

This wasn't a recent change - trusted list access has always been specific for each profile.  There is a way to do a bulk addition to the trusted list, for occasions like this one - you sister can do that for you.

Thanks!  I  did a bulk change & am now able to access the "add spouse"  "add child" to Norma's  listings.
Glad it worked out for you!

If you are adding adult children there should be no problem, just as Gaile said.

However you can’t add minor children, unless they are your own.

FOR SURE!  I'm only adding dead people!  In this electronic age I feel, anyone under at least 50 or 60  SHOULD be adding their OWN name.....  Exception being with the linking with DNA
