Would like to set screen time for family organiser as son has to access my account.

Hi thank you for the reply but I want to be able to set a screen time limit on the family organisers account as this is the one my child uses on the Xbox NOT on a family members account.

Hi there,

Im not sure how he did it, but my 14yr old son has changed his Microsoft Family account setting to ‘organiser’. Is there a step by step guide on how to change it back without having to completely delete his profile and achievements?

I’ve added myself back in as another organiser on a different new profile with the intention of removing his status (as i know all the logins etc ),but every time i try to ‘remove’ him it says i need to amend the permissions for my other childrens accounts
with no clear method of doing so.

can anyone help?

Thanks

I've just had this exact problem with my son! The easiest way to do it is to just delete his profile, but that, although it would teach him a lesson, does seem a little harsh - he has worked hard building up his game achievements, for instance. All you need
to know is that he / you have access to the email account that acts as the log in for his profile. First of all, change your password for your account log in - he probably knows this & this is how he's altered his status from member to organiser in the first
place!

So, after that, what I did was this-

1. Log in to microsoft family using your organiser profile.

2. Click on your profile and go down to family members.

3. Remove his profile from the family.

4. Go back and add a new member to the family.

5. Add his email address to add him back in as a member of the family albeit as a new member.

6. Make sure that you select him as "member" rather than "organiser".

7. He will get an email invite to join back into the family, then you approve that using your credentials.

8. He should now be in as a member, but not an organiser.

Hope this helps!

Take care & stay safe.

Thanks for your reply!

If anyone interested, how I solved this issue - I have deleted existing family security, then created new family under different account, adding my main account as a family member, not organiser. I can see the screen time of my main account now.

Depending on how you (or your son) set up your son's accont, and if your son is still a minor, the son has to be added to an adult account.

Have your own adult accont and sign in on
https://account.microsoft.com/family and add your son's account to your family account.

Then go to
https://account.xbox.com/settings and restrict his online and privacy settings to your liking. You can also enforce game time limits.

But the most practical approach would be to lock away his controller or taking away the power cord of the console.

Hi, Liam! I'm Kim, an Independent Advisor and I’m happy to help you today.

Just to confirm, are you perhaps trying to set your own screen time? Screen time limits can only be set on devices connected to your family group. Kindly check the link below for more information:https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil....
