Changing the responsible adult for a child's Live account

DavidSchoen · Feb 27, 2014

Our grandson (under 18) has just moved in with us, and I'd like to transfer the parental control of his account over to me. By that I mean when he needs an adult's permission for downloads or the like, I want my Xbox/Microsoft account to be the one to control
it. Right now it's tied to an adult account that neither of us can use. How do I switch what adult's account can provide permission for his account?

Child's account nonexistent

Hello! I have an Xbox One and for months I try to play online, but it always appears that my account is child's account. I tried to resolve the issue on the site and it appears that I have a responsible adult whose account I never created! I'm in desperation,
please help me.

[Guide] Parental Controls

Parents are able to modify a child's account by changing their privacy settings. To do this the parent must sign into their Microsoft account. Once the parent has signed in. Click on the menu button on your controller and then click onto
Settings.

Once you have clicked onto your settings , click onto
Family. Then select the child's profile. This will then show you the current restrictions of their profile.

You are able to make changes to the child's profile by using different default settings for the account. As Listed below. This will be found under "Privacy"

- Child

- Teen

- Adult

- Custom

Parents can also customize the default of the settings they have chosen.

Parents can also change the child's restrictions for the child's profile. By selecting
"Access to content". Here the adult will be able to change the restrictions for apps and games etc. You are also able to change the level of the restriction. For their profile.

Parents can also customize the child's web filtering. Under content restrictions.

Thank you

Kind Regards

You can't change a child account into an adult account once registered for xbox live. You can modify the DOB under your MS account's page yet that will not upgrade a child account into an adult account for the live service.

You can't change an adult account to a child account. Once registered in the live service servers the account can't be changed.

Select Promote Child Account.

You can change a child account to an adult account, but you can't change an adult account to a child account. In order to manage them, you would have to create new child accounts for them.
