    Hello,

    To allow a child account to play multiplayer Minecraft, you must enable the necessary permissions through the Microsoft Family Safety website or the Xbox Family Settings app. First, sign in as the parent and select your child's profile, then navigate to Privacy & online safety settings and set "You can join multiplayer games" to Allow. You should also enable "Create and join clubs" and "Add friends" to allow for more social interactions and consider adjusting communication settings for chat and voice. 

    Hope this helps,

    JC

    To remove the administrator function from your son's account and allow him to play Minecraft multiplayer, you will need to adjust the privacy settings through the Xbox family settings. Since your son's account is likely managed by a parent or guardian, you can customize the Xbox privacy settings for his profile by following these steps:

    1. Go to Settings on the Xbox console.
    2. Navigate to Account.
    3. Select Family settings.
    4. Choose Manage family members and select your son's account.
    5. Adjust the settings to allow multiplayer access.

    Keep in mind that if your son is blocked from multiplayer due to age-based defaults or configurations set by you as the family organizer, you will need to approve this access through the system UI. This process will enable him to play multiplayer in Minecraft, provided that the necessary permissions are granted.
