Hi AaronBeatty





Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Upon reading the description you have posted, it seems that you have an issue with Xbox wherein as an organizer of your Xbox family group. You want to know how to set limits.

By the way, here are the information we would like you to check. On how you can set time limits on you Xbox family group:

Set screen time limits for your Xbox family group

You can manage how long members in your Xbox family group spend on their Xbox and Windows devices. While you can’t manage these settings from the Xbox console, you can configure screen time limits from the web and the Xbox Family Settings app.

Note After screen time limits are set, time counts down whenever a member is signed in. Make sure that they sign out when they’re not actively using their device.

Set screen time limits on the web

If you’re an organizer in your Xbox family group, sign in to your Microsoft account on the Microsoft Family site.

Sign in to your Microsoft account

1. On your family group page, select the member whose account you want to manage, and then select the Screen time tile.
   
2. From this page, you can connect new Xbox, Windows, and Android devices to their account. You can also adjust their daily and weekly screen time schedules. Select the device, and then select Turn limits on if this is your first time setting up this device type.
   
   Note Use the toggle under Use one schedule on all devices to simplify and manage all devices with the same screen time limits.
   
3. Use the listed time slots to adjust screen time limitations for a day or an entire week. You can adjust the applicable days, time limit, and time range.
   
4. Select Done to save the configurations that you’ve set.
   
5. To disable screen time limits for a device, select the More options button next to the device that you’re managing, and then select Turn limits off.
   

Set screen time limits with the Xbox Familly Settings app

The Xbox Family Settings app on Android and iOS allows organizers in the family group to manage members’ gaming settings and activity on Xbox consoles.

Hi, if the account that she uses (organizers account) is not underage then you cannot set time limits.

Nothing can be transferred between accounts and you can't set time limits on an adult account. So it's either have him start over on the child account or let him use the organizer account without time limits.

Hello Nate,

Thanks for posting your question!

You could create a new account for your child. You’ll need to set up a new Microsoft account for your child and add them to your family group in Xbox Family Settings. Unfortunately, progress can't be directly transferred from one Microsoft account to another.

After creating their own account, you can set screen time limits for that specific account under Settings > Account > Family settings.

Unfortunately, the game progress will remain tied to the original account, so your child will need to continue using that account to maintain their progress or start new on their account.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll be here to support you!

Note: Just a friendly reminder that this is a public forum, I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
