The Core Concepts section describes how Phosra’s Parental Controls product works — families, children, policies, and enforcement as Phosra has implemented them. This is Phosra’s own product layer, distinct from the OCSS standard it conforms to. Developers building on the open OCSS protocol should start at Developer Platform.
Families
A family is the top-level organizational unit in Phosra. Every child, policy, platform connection, and webhook belongs to a family. Families can have multiple adult members, each with a role: owner (full control, including billing), parent (can manage children and policies), or guardian (read access plus limited management). A family must have at least one owner. When you create a family, you are automatically added as the owner. You can then invite other adults and add children. Children do not have user accounts — they are represented as child profiles within the family.Related API Endpoints
