How to set up family accounts on PSN

Learn how to create family manager, guardian and child accounts for your family on PlayStation™Network (PSN).

How to become a family manager

To set up your family on PSN, you need to create an adult account before creating accounts for your children.

The adult who creates a child account is known as the family manager. The family manager can:

• Manage play time. 
• Manage purchases from the family manager wallet. 
• Manage access to games, videos, and applications. 
• Disable text, video, and voice chat messages. 
• Block user-generated video, streams, and pictures. 
• Appoint other adults in the family as “guardians.” This allows them to set and change controls on all the child family members (including how much can be spent from your wallet).
