Windows 10: Ask Permission - Need an Adult to use Firefox - Ask by email

Repeatedly "ask by email" (using "child's" machine) and repeatedly selected "allowed" ("gave permission") to use the account, but it still doesn't work.

Initially, it also alerted me to the need to update windows on the "child's" machine, which I did, but it still doesn't work. I then found the following instructions:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/permission/7a7469d4-cf43-4e27-8dcc-03a625976e9b


Right click the program, click Properties
Click the Security tab
Click Edit
Click Add
Click Advanced
Click Find now
Select an account then click OK
Click OK
Under permissions for user
Choose what the user can do in the list, then click Apply then OK
Click Apply then OK again.

I right-clicked the Firefox icon and followed these instructions up until it asked me to "click apply again" (apply was greyed out, so I just clicked OK).

Please advise...

(p.s. I use this family feature for a disabled adult who needs some help and supervision, but is understandably irritated by the "adult/child" framework. Wouldn't "administrator/user" (or some such designation) be preferable even for children?

:)

 

Ask for permission You'll need to ask an adult in your family if you can use: Google Chrome

Also if you are an adult in your family and you are still having this issue do this.

• Ask for permission to use the program
• go onto another web browser and log into the other email you or a family member uses
• if you are not in the family tab add your self to the children's accounts
• accept the request to use the program
• then remove yourself from the children's account and into the adult section

Hope this helps.

 

Ask For Permission On Google Chrome???

Yesterday, I tried to start up google chrome when it gave me the message:

Ask for permission
You’ll need to ask an adult in your family if you can use:

Google Chrome

So I checked my family settings and I'm an adult in the family. When I click 'ask by email' nothing shows up in my inbox, and II still can't use google chrome. Any suggestions?

 

Google Chrome asking for adult permissions to access

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you receive error while asking permission from adult for accessing Google Chrome. I would like to know the exact error message/code you receive.



However, since you have mentioned that you are using a child account, the work around would be to converting the child account to a local user account and try using Chrome. Kindly follow the steps to convert the child account to local account.

1. Go to Settings > Account >
   Your info.
   
2. Now click on Sign in to a
   local account instead.
   
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
   

If you are an adult and still using a child account refer the article
Parental consent and Microsoft child accounts for more information.
