I'm using the site with basic access (no paid subscription), but I would image I should at least have access to the background in the PHB, especially if the 'Haunted One' background is available which is from the Curse of Strahd.
I have a similar question. I have subscribed at the Master level and just purchased the Players Handbook through Beyond. I did this as I have a player who started her character in my campaign (I'm the DM) and I'm doing the data entry for her. I'm taking her existing 7th level ranger over into Beyond entering things for her. When I got to the background, I didn't see Outlander so I purchased the Players Handbook so I could have access to all the backgrounds there. Going back to her sheet, I don't see any backgrounds added as options. I understood at the Master Level subscription, my purchased content could be used by the players in my campaign. Is there something I'm missing here? Does it take time for the content to populate out to players character sheets?
Thank you!

With the account of your friend, you need to join a campaign created by you and create the character within the campaign. If the character is not on the campaign page, the content is still limited on what that account owns. Moreover be sure that you have enabled the content sharing on the campaign page.
It was enabling content sharing that I missed. She had created her character within the campaign. Once I turned that on, everything was there. THANK YOU!

I am trying to build a monk with the Stealth ability, but out of the options (Choose two from Acrobatics, Athletics, History, Insight, Religion, and Stealth), Stealth is the only option not listed in the pulldown menu.

This is a completely separate issue from the OP; a new thread would have been better.
That said, what you described usually happens when you already have the proficiency from another source (race, background, etc.)
I'm trying to build a monk and would like to select 'Hermit' as my background, but I only have access to the following options:

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
Thanks for any feedback!
Haunted One is free because is given in a free PDF on WotC website.
D&D Beyond can be used for free and contains information from the following "free to use" sources published by Wizards of the Coast: D&D 5th edition SRD, D&D 5th edition Basic Rules, and Elemental Evil Companion.
Content from other sources, such as the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, or Monster Manual, will need to be purchased from the Marketplace or accessed via another user sharing content with you via their Master Tier Subscription.
@filcat Gotcha! I figured it was associated with my an access level. Thanks for the quick response here!!
