These new features requite parents and guardians nuanced command over the console'southward usage and settings, allowing them to stay in command of what younger children play, picket, and can access online, while older kids and adults are free to play games or scout movies suitable to their age group.

Let's become through the new features together!

New family account names

The first big difference comes with the new terminology that allows u.s. to bring y'all new levels of security, possibilities, and customisations. Family accounts replace the "main account" and "sub account" structure previously used for adults and children with the new categories "Family unit Managing director", "Developed Family Member", "Parent/Guardian", and "Kid Family Member".

"Family Manager" is the family administrator. There are no restrictions on the features a family unit manager can access: they can add members to the family and set permissions for the child family members on PS4.
"Adult Family unit Member" and "Parent/Guardian" are family members over the age of 18 and they have full unrestricted access to PlayStation Network as well as their own wallet for purchases from PlayStation Shop. The divergence between these two categories is that only "Parent/Guardian" tin can set parental controls for Child Family Members.
"Child Family unit Members" are the users under the age of 18 that can use PS4 and PSN within the limits of the parental controls set by the Family Director or Parent/Guardian.
