Restrict Creation of New Profiles

Batso1340 · Apr 21, 2017

SO,

Apparently X360 has the ability to restrict permissions so that new profiles can't be created without approval from an admin,

Is there a similar function on the XBONE?

I have a kid with screen time restrictions, but if he twigs to the 'just create a new account' approach we're stuffed!

Thanks

:)

How to restrict creation of guest account

Hello,

I would like to set up restrictions on creating guest accounts on the Xbox one account/console.

I have noticed that kids can get around Microsoft family safety/time restrictions on their screen time by creating guest accounts. What is the purpose of Microsoft Family time restrictions if there are so many ways to get around it, and most kids have already
figured out how to do this!

Even if a pin is created, once a child has access to his acount, he can create guest accounts and let a friend/sibling game with him. What is the purpose of these guest accounts and why cant parents restrict the creating of these accounts?

This is unacceptable and not family friendly at all!

Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

All settings, system, signed-out content restrictions, then uncheck box that reads "let people make and download new accounts".

You can prevent new account creation this way:

Go to the console settings, and under System should be the option to "Control offline content".

Uncheck the option to allow new profiles. You can also set other things like age restriction etc. Then create a passkey to protect these settings.

I don't think you can move the profile. What you should do is make him a new profile as a child account in your family. He will be able to access the games of the original profile if you give the account permission. You will want a passcode or password
required for the original account, and adjust Xbox settings to prevent creation or adding of accounts. Then you can set your hour limits and content restrictions for the child account.

Thanks so much.
