Can the student work? Under what major restrictions? What is the family position where clearly stated?

Yes. The permit is for those who, having held a residence permit as secondary-school students (Article 92) or first-cycle higher-education students (Article 91) and completed their studies, intend to exercise an employed or self-employed professional activity in Portugal, except where the student permit was issued under cooperation agreements and there are no compelling reasons of national interest. Holders of residence permits granted without a visa under Article 122 enjoy the Article 83 rights, which include, without special authorisation, employed and self-employed professional activity.
