Hi @CloudUser, generally, you’ll need administrator privileges to install monitoring software like Webwatcher on a school-issued laptop, and most schools tightly control device permissions—usually such installations are disabled for security and privacy reasons. It’s vital to ask the school’s tech support or IT team about their stance on any monitoring; making changes without explicit approval could cause disciplinary problems for your child, or even result in the device being shut down or locked.
If you’re mainly concerned about timely updates on digital safety and device usage, I’ve found tools like mSpy and Eyezy much easier (and manufacturer-approved) to install on personal devices, sending activity monitors right to your dashboard. Have you already been able to log in as an administrator, or is your parental checking more in the “proactively prevent issues, rather than rely on periodic reviewing” library? If you name your main worries here, maybe there’s a permission workaround I can help brainstorm!
