Why can anyone create a user on the xbox?

Recently had a guest to stay and she made herself a user on the xbox. This wasn't a problem in that I was happy for her to have one, but if she can do it so can my kids. They could create a user with adult settings behind my back and I would be none the
wiser (not being an xbox user myself). How can I prevent this from happening?

Thanks

Can you create a user on the XBox One without an email?

I want to create a local account on the Xbox One for a person so that games we play together locally (Lego Hobbit, Minecraft) will save his acheivments and games. I don't need it to access live so don't want to create one attached to an email account.
This was simple on the 360 but I can't seem to create an account without it asking for a email address and password. I don't understand why this is so difficult.

thanks,

Keith

 

Can you create a user on the XBox One without an email?

The idea is that you only need to access Xbox Live once, and the rest of the time you can play offline. (Achievements only pop-up when you're connected to XBL, though.) The one time you need to connect to XBL is to register an account... that must contain
an email. Right now, what you're asking for is essentially impossible. Unless I am mistaken, so I invite anyone to correct me.

 

Hey there SurgicalCamp370,

There isn't a way to restrict someone from creating a new account on the Xbox One console. A new user would have to go through a few steps and need to have an email account, or create one in order to make that happen. If you'd like to see this become an
option, we'd welcome your feedback and suggestions on our feedback page
