Juveniles becoming Adults and their Foireann accounts

As a registrar, I encountered a situation where I was trying to ensure a club member was successfully registered in order to play with a county panel this weekend. I found I was blocked, as the players previous registrations in Foireann were completed as a juvenile, but he is now an adult, having recently turned 18 - this meant his Foireann profile had no username or email attached, so there was no password reset option available. I was able to overcome this by having the player register a new account (and paying their membership) and then inviting that player rejoin his parents account as an adult child.

This was all a bit cumbersome, does anyone if there is a facility to "convert" a juvenile account to an adult one, when they turn 18, and add details such as an email and/or username?

  Have the parent go to their family and select the MOVE button in the row where their child is listed, and follow the instructions there.  The parent has to supply an email for the family member being moved from the Childrens section to the Additional People section.  Worked for me.

  If the parents add an email to the child's account, you can then "Invite" the child to create their own account using member actions. Over 18s can remain as children in a family even when they have their own accounts.
