Mass enable all parent accounts

Is there a way to mass enable all parent access accounts at once rather than clicking on hundreds of accounts individually? I saw the answer for the old interface, but it didn't apply to the new interface (or at least I couldn't find it). Help is greatly appreciated.

"grab"  the students you need to work with. Select "change student field values". AllowWebAccess=1

It's in the same sport but I think the name may have changed. See attached.

This did it in 10 seconds. I also didn't have to hunt for a specific screen. Thank you so much!!

Next question ... can I mass auto-assign IDs & passwords? I know once that is complete I can generate letters to send to parents.

Just be aware you will not be able to send student passwords because they are "hashed" (NOT encrypted! DEFINATELY NOT ENCRYPTED! Someone will correct you if you use THAT word!) in PowerSchool. This is part of the major changes they made in v23.5.
