How do I enable adult privileges on my account?

Trigg Peasley · May 29, 2023

I am the creator of this account, and I do not know how it ever got stuck with only children’s accessibility, but I cannot change this since there is no adult account linked to my account. For example, I can’t do something simple like join a realm on Minecraft, despite having Xbox Live Gold, because my account is a child’s account.

Hi Trigg

You can enable your privacy settings by signing in here: https://account.xbox.com/Settings

If you don't see the options to enable your privacy settings and ends up here: https://support.xbox.com/help/family-online-saf... that means you're in a family group or you're a child/teen account that needs to be a part of a family group.

A child/teen account is described as:

-Young child: Anyone under the age of 8

-Child: Ages 8 through 12

-Teen: Ages 13 through 17 (or 18 in South Korea)

For your reference here: https://support.xbox.com/help/family-online-saf...

In this case, you need to ask either of your parents to create a family group for you by signing in at https://account.microsoft.com/family using their own account (or create a Microsoft account if they don't have any) and add you as a "Member" so your parent can configure your privacy settings when they sign in here: https://account.xbox.com/settings.

Hope this clarifies, let me know.

Privileges could mean that family safety settings are enabled preventing online play. Make sure those are disabled and that your account is set to an Adult account.

You are trying to change an adult account to a child account? While the age of the account is determined by the DOB on said account, we can change the privacy settings for this account to have child-like privileges.
To do this, just navigate to Settings>Privacy & online safety>and make the appropriate changes their.

Let us know how that goes, or if you have anymore questions.

This is why you have parental controls

Is he on a child account or adult

If Adult then remove his privileges and put him on a child account

Game.currency isnt usually refundable if it is consumed

Sorry but your account designation as a child or adult is not based on privileges it's based on your legal age for being an adult in the country you reside. If your over the age of 18 and your account is a child account in under a family account it will
never be consider an adult until it is removed from the family
