How do I restrict network access and game removal access?

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

I apologize but you can't force a player to stay offline, you can manage the settings but if they can manage it as well since we can't limit an account to access the settings of the console. What you can do is manage or restrict them to play online multiplayer via https://account.xbox.com/settings.

You can hide apps but if they know where to find them they will be able to unhide them as well and possibly remove apps.

Overall, we can't force a player to stay offline, and we can't restrict uninstalling apps or games but you can have any profiles play installed games as long as the account where the games were purchasedd is set as Home Xbox.

So you can't limit user to offline only?

parental controls require the account be online, you can limit screen time or you can block them from playing multiplayer completely using family controls.

Hi there and thanks for the response.

The issue is not restricting access to games, I know how to do that. Instead there are currently games they can access without signing in to their account, they are effectively playing as a guest. Hence, I cannot restrict them as the ability to restrict is linked to their user name.

I'm sure this has been mentioned to death but Xbox has a free membership as does the PS network with the same restrictions and benies. Access to the network for free but no access to multiplayer games. It's called a silver or standard account.
