Multiple family management accounts

u_enzo · Jan 2, 2022

Hello,

I have two main accounts - one for my Office subscription and one for the Xbox (a historical thing.....). My family are all added to the Office main account so they share the Office subscription; until now it was not a problem, but now I need to change the permissions for one of the users on the Xbox - and this account is not in my Xbox account family!

Before I go and try it out, is it possible to have an account as part of two "families"?

Thank you all.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

That's not possible, U_enzo. An account can only be added as a member of one family group only.

Thanks all. If Microsoft is listening at all, this is an absurd way to manage these accounts. Most families I know have multiple child accounts for Minecraft, those accounts should be able to be managed by a single parent and a single email account. It is at a minimum costing them my next Minecraft purchase.

You must verify who you are on the accounts

That is a good security policy

Every company has strict rules under which you must meet to make changes to an account

Those rules are enforced by privacy laws it would be scary if a person can call support and cancel my membership or charge 100dollars without meeting requirements

The only other way is to refer to the complete credit card number they previously had on their account or at least the last four digits which is possible since you need a creditcard for psu

Suggestion goto windowslivehelp.com and go thru the password reset proccess and then Remeber to set reset options as they do help

When you purchase Gold Family, you must purchase it from the 'parent account'. This account will have full permissions and full control over what happens with the Gold Family Pack and the settings. So, it would be up to you if
you let your son play on your account still. But, to make accounts for them with full use of the family settings you will have to make an account for each of them and attach them to the Gold Family Plan. If you have anymore questions you can refer to this

Your best bet is to have him keep playing on the same profile and create a different one for the parent account.

Who's name that is on it is not really important, unless calling in to support and needing to verify the account.

If it is your email on the account, you can change the email, freeing yours up. However, there is a 30 day wait period before you can use that email on a different account.

If you create secondary accounts that do not already have an email attached to them, make sure to notate the random gamertag. The system will assign the email of *** Die E-Mail-Adresse wurde aus Datenschutzgründen entfernt. *** to that account... which can be handy info in the future.
