    Set up exception to restrictions


    My sons account is linked to mine via a Family setup. I want to give him instant access to one M rated game. I type in the passkey and I dont get the option to choose my account to allow him to Always have access.

    Thanks

    :)

    You can set up exceptions for individual games that are outside of the rating restrictions you have set. I believe it is under the rating settings. So yea, he made need it to log into the game but it looks to me as you can add that to the exceptions. This
    information was under the first link above.

    Game access

    Hi there,

    you should be able to set what games the child account is allowed to access via

    https://account.microsoft.com/family/

    or via the Xbox One console via the content restrictions.

    It's also possible to specify exceptions to the set Age restriction.

    I believe you are talking about the
    parental setting?

    What can I control on the console? Ratings and Content: These settings let you restrict games and video content based on the content's rating. You can also set whether or not unrated or explicit content can be played on this console.


    Tip     You can set up exceptions for individual games that are outside of the rating restrictions you have set.

    Family Sharing - Help Setting up Restrictions

    I see the problem here....

    If your son has been playing on your account, then I'm afraid it's impossible to transfer the gamer-tag over. If you have created a new account for him to use under your account, then he will have to start again with a new one. All the game progressions
    will also need to be started from scratch.

    You could try changing your own gamer-tag so it with free it up for him to use, but you still won't be able to transfer anything else.

    You see, the details follow the Microsoft Account, not the gamer-tag.

    Sorry....
    Hello wi7bit

    I thought that might be the case. Last question I promise - If I set up another Microsoft Account and invited what is technically my account to another family as a member - would that work in terms of being able to restrict time on that account and enabling
    me to keep the gamer tag?

    I really appreciate your responses and help - thank you :)

    Cheers
