Updating Family Account Permissions

Hello, annewatson2. Thanks for reaching out! I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Community expert user. I'll be happy to assist you today.

Minecraft has an official guide on how to manage parental consent, family settings and realms/multiplayer access for a child account. Following their official guide:

Set Up and Manage Your Child’s Xbox Live or Microsoft Account

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

Click Create a family group.

In the Add Someone box, click Create an account,

Start in the Create an account for child box and then follow the instructions to create the account.

Once created, edit the parental settings as needed.

Note: You can find additional parental settings at https://account.xbox.com/settings

Family Account Management and Child Account Set Up

The Parent/Guardian must be signed in with MSA to Manage a Family Account, to then access the page where they will create a Family Group to begin with.

Hello JREYES94! As Mister Darcy verified, your account will not be removed from the Gold Family pack subscription for promoting to adult. You will still be a family member, you will just have added permissions! Make sure to check those permissions though,
as the parent of the family pack will still be able to add permissions to the account in question!

if your account is family controlled children account ask for permission.

hiya, sorry to hear this.

Try this.

This could be due to the account being a child account,

you'll more than likely need to log in your account and alter your son's permissions and privileges under family settings. if this account isn't in a family you can do it through the account you're trying to get online with.

all you need to do if it is under a family is,

Go into settings, Account, family settings, Manage family members, click the account and change the permissions

If the account is not under family.

Go into settings, account, Privacy and online safety then under Xbox live privacy check, all the right permissions are ticked.

I hope this helped - Redmonkey.

If you are part of a Family account, the permissions for content are on the Microsoft website in the Family section and set for each individual user.
