My kids are able to freely switch between profiles without using the current password. Are there any way what so ever to restrict the kids to their own profiles?

@Fraser_Andrew

Hi… no need to be upset.

You can invite any existing Deezer free account to join your family account instead of using profiles. The invited account uses its own account data to log in. 

I think it's safe to assume that if Deezer hasn't remedied this issue after 4 years it isn't a priority for them to figure it out? It really is too bad because there is a huge demand for having profiles that can attract popular content that is not explicit for tween age children who don't want lullabies and kiddie music, but that parents don't want for them to have access to the full array of adult music by easily accessing other users (aka adults) profiles.

Hi @fvdb 

I’ve replied to you on your other post :) 

Hello @Thomas William Lewis III indeed, a kid profile is suitable for children under 12, it’s too limited for teens regarding the available catalogue content. In any independent account, you can activate the filter so that no explicit content is recommended (in App settings on mobile), however it would be easy at the moment for your kids to deactivate it. But bear with us, our teams are working on a feature that would enable just what you need and that should be available very soon.

@Fraser_Andrew 

I agree with you that there‘s just the control option to invite or to kick out other accounts. 
Kids mode on profiles is more a kind of content filter for recommendations. It’s not a control option to allow or to forbid content. Imo that’s also not what Deezer wants to have profiles for. 

Wow! I just signed up and I think I’m about to cancel straight away. What is the point of an Admin account, when everyone on the profile has access to it? I’m sure my kids will love being admin when I’m not around. and there is no point giving them their own account as then they just become their own admins anyway??? Pretty useless option. An admin should have solo access and rights to certain areas and functions of how the account works. If it doesn’t, then its not an admin.

I actually set up independent accounts for my kids thinking that this would allow a fix to the parental controls (based on this Deezer announcement - https://www.deezer-blog.com/press/more-freedom-for-the-family-with-individual-logins/) but it actually provided no ability to filter those at all.  I’m not sure what the solution from here can be. 

Can you give more details on what a true child account does (meant for 12 and under).  I have 15 and 16 year old kids and if the controls on that kid account allow them to listen to anything that isn’t explicit, that may work.  But is there a way to keep those accounts locked from explicit content or can they also still go in to the main profile and switch it?

Hello @Thomas William Lewis III, we’re working on fixing this. As you may have noticed, it’s now possible to have independent accounts of a Family subscription, and we would like to extend this solution to kid profiles.We’ll keep you posted on the Community.

Please address the issue of Deezer Family Admin not having password protection for content preferences for the kids profiles.  

This is critical to ensuring safe browsing and music streaming for families.  

Please let us know the status on this as soon as possible.  Deezer may not be an option for our family if this is not addressed. 

Thanks so much!

I would love to switch my family over to deezer as we’re currently on a trial, but this is a deal breaker for us. 

It seems like this forum has recently added an “upvote” feature, so for anyone following this thread and still looking for this feature, I’d encourage you to go to this newer request and click “upvote”.

Hi @Martin Holmes you are right and we raised this to our developers already.
For the time being, starting next week you'll be able to control the explicit content of the members on your plan
From the Family picker, you click on the "three dots" right next to the name of the person you wish to control, and you click on "Hide explicit content".
I invite you to suggest this on the ideas forum so other users can vote for your idea and we can push for this feature to be implemented in the short term: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas

Thanks for your feedback @BrRo. At the moment it works like that but I’ll pass your honest feedback to our developers as other users have raised this in the past as well.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
 

Indeed. I guess Deezer should examine whether a "family subscription" is appropriate or misleading marketing. I've cancelled my subscription now in favour of iTunes. Hopefully this will filter down and a proper family profile will become available.... There is a market for it. 

Yes, but a family account should have parental controls only profiles have those, I would have no control over invited accounts. 

This thread is 4 years old and I cannot see this issue has been resolved. I subscribed to a family account today and can immediately see it is not a Family account but a multiple profile account. Without safeguards to switch to the admin account it is useless. I think I will be unsubscribing well before my “free” 3 months finishes. Ridiculous set-up. Switching profiles should require a pass-code separate from the password like every other media service out there.  Shame I was looking forward to it.

Hi ​@piatopia! Thanks for your message!

It’s definitely something that could improve the parental control experience. I’ll be sure to pass it along to our team.

I really appreciate your input.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi @Lukáš Benda as I mentioned to other user, you are right we don’t have a password box. However what we have now is a way to convert a Deezer profile into and independent account as you can see in the following link: https://support.deezer.com/hc/en-gb/articles/360007641517

I see, two years and the password box before switching an account isn’t here. This is mainly a security issue and you can’t solve it for over two years?

So, the application isn’t usable for parents and families.

Hi @poppycoral we don’t have an option at the moment to prevent other profiles to switch to the master account but we have already passed the feedback to our developers.
Please feel free to leave your suggestions in our ideation forum where other users can see your feature request and for it. The most voted ideas are likely to be developed for future updates: https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas
Thanks, and apologies for the inconvenience

I have just upgraded my deezer subscription as my 11 yr old had added lots of explicit rap songs to his playlist. We decided to give him his own profile on the family account with the option to remove explicit language ticked...problem solved! NO. He just came in to me and quite innocently said,  “Don’t worry Mum, I haven’t lost all my songs, I just switch to Dad’s profile and they are all still there” 

Is there no way to stop the profile switching else iIm paying for an upgraded safe kid friendly version...which is no different to the usual version.
