  2. Child account can't play game I purchased

    Hi, Brad,

    In the Content restrictions page, you can configure the account to require adult approval for purchases in the Microsoft Store, set age limit for apps, games, and media, and you can even block those websites you want to restrict access.

    The Ask a parent feature allows you to require your approval for a child to proceed with a Microsoft Store purchase. However, this option excludes purchases made with the funds you added to the child account and gift cards.

    To enable this feature, turn on the Needs adult approval to buy things toggle switch. If you also want to know when and what a child has purchased, then turn on the Email me when my child gets stuff toggle switch.

    The Apps, games & media feature option enables you to block apps, games, and media that isn't appropriate for your children.

    To restrict content, turn on the Block inappropriate apps, games & media toggle switch, and then use the drop-down menu to specify the rating you want to allow. (For more details, click the View allowed ratings link.)

    Steps to try:

    1. Change accounts in the store to allow others to use your apps since apps were installed per user.

    2. Add a user (under "accounts" and "Family & other users".. pick add someone else to this PC, choose "the person I want to add doesn't have an email address" and then pick "Add a user without a Microsoft account" and it will make a local account on the computer.
    When you log-in to that account and go to the windows app store, log-in there with your "adult" Microsoft account (be sure to choose log-in to this app only) and you have access to all the purchases from the main account under each local user.

  3. Better management of "child accounts" needed for purchases

    Both myself and my daughter have Windows Phones, however I have set her account up as a child account. Normally I have the setting for "Purchases" disabled, however the process to buy apps on her account when needed is incredibly tedious.



    1. Sign in as child on the zune.net website

    2. Enable Purchases

    3. Sign in as Parent to authorise the change

    4. Wait *ages* for the change to take effect

    5. Go back to the app store and buy the app (or wait if the change isn't in effect yet)

    6. Once installed, repeat steps 1-4 to disable purchases again

    7. Hope in the meantime your child hasn't taken the opportunity to buy lots of other stuff as well Installing approved game purchase on childs PC :)



    It would be really great if a different system could be implemented. How about:

    • Child tries to buy the app, a notification goes to the parent to "approve" the purchase, or;
    • The parent is able to manage child accounts directly under their own zune.net account and can buy "on behalf of...". or;
    • When the child tries to buy an app, it just prompts at that time for the parent to login to "sign for" and approve the purchase
    I love the option to have and manage child accounts and the family security settings, but this particular process is really painful.



    Regards,

    Scott.
