  1. "Ask a Parent" sends email to ALL adults in the Family


    How can I stop "Ask a Parent" from sending an email to all adults in the family? At the moment the Grandparents are also getting requests and I don't want them approving things for my child.

  2. How to delete an adult account in the Family Settings.

    Hi,

    To resolve your issue, we suggest that you follow the steps below:

    • As an adult in the family account, sign in with your Microsoft account.
    • Under Your family, click
      Remove
      .
    • Click the child account you want to remove, and click Remove.
    • You will get an email confirmation once the child has been removed from the family.
    Note: If you removed a Child account, it will be tagged as an "Orphaned account" and you will need to attach another "Parent account".

    Regards.

  3. Adult account being asked for parental consent - Microsoft Family

    I have someone on my family account that is an adult, when he tries and access certain items he gets notifications he cannot due to parental controls. I never see any emails saying he is asking or notifications, etc. But none the less he is an adult and
    can access any of it. When I first set him up I mistakenly got his birthday incorrect and it had him as a child, I sorted that out and is shown as an adult now.

    Any way to get around this? I hate to delete him and then reinput him as we've got MS 365 and rather not go through messing with that if possible.

    Adult account being asked for parental consent - Microsoft Family

    Hi Jason,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forum.



    If you’re an adult, but you got a message asking for parental consent, it’s because you’re a child in your Microsoft family. Even if you’re over the age of 18, you can still be a child in Microsoft family. For more information and help, see
    Age verification for parental consent.



    Tick ‘Yes’ if you find the answer helpful.



    Merry Christmas!

    Regards,
