Hello guys I recently bought an Xbox Series X. I wanted to know how to set up my xbox in a way that makes it so that my main profile is private/locked and there's a guest profile that my family can play in. How do I go about doing that?
The game data won't be shared between the profiles right? Cause I want my own game data to be separate.

game data will not be shared
you setup a new account with a different email for them to use
and set a passcode on your main account so they cannot log into it, only you
But each family member should be creating their own account, and when they want to play they log into said account

alright, thank you very much

you setup a new account with a different email for them to use
in the new account do they also have to set the xbox as their home xbox?
or no?

Only the account that owns the content

so that would be my main profile right?

Only the account that owns the content
also I noticed that if both my main account and family account is signed in, then the family account can just switch to mine with no requirement of a passcode, so at that point do I just sign out of my profile after I'm done using my xbox?
my main profile's game data won't be lost?

why would you be logged in if the family account is logged in?

i thought the main profile had to stay active or something, sorry i'm completely new to this 😅
