Okay so my friend is gamesharing with me but we ran into an issue. First off, his account is a family group, one account that as no use is the admin/Parent account and the other one is the one supervised. The account that is supervised is the one with the digital games. Now that's where the issue is, whenever i try to deregister the Admin account, is automatically register back as primary on my switch and I can't put the Supervised as primary console so I can't play the games on my account. Any help?

I was working so can't always answer right away

#

Registering Primary console doesn't involve Admin for a family group.

#

It would check which console that account is signed in into the eShop or other Nintendo services first to make that one Primary.

#

Try deregistering on one console, and then at the same time, login it into another console (The one you want to be primary) and open the eShop on that console.

#

Meanwhile don't open anything on the console you just deregister

#

Alright

#

I'll try that

#

And sorry for the ping, someone told me to ping 😅

#

Hope it will work

#

Trying to play pokemon violet

supple dagger
#

No, it's alright. I wouldn't answer if I don't want to.

#

Let me know the result

#

And eh can you tell me what is your relationship with the supervised account?

#

Family group maybe not affecting it but parental control might

#

And this is a rather annoying feature

spring epoch
#

It's a guy I've been talking to for awhile

#

And he suggested to share pokemon with me

#

So i said why not but yeah

#

He's the one using both accounts

#

But the admin one he don't use that much

#

We just did it

#

But it keeps haunting me

#

😭

supple dagger
#

It didn't work?

spring epoch
#

I Deregistered and he log into the account that is Supervised

#

Still not working

#

😭

#

I'm losing hope man

supple dagger
#

When you deregister, are you deregistering the "Supervised" account or the parental control account?

spring epoch
#

No

#

I Deregistered the parental control account

supple dagger
#

Why are you deregistering on the parental control admin account instead?

spring epoch
#

Because it's the one that is set as primary

supple dagger
#

Primary/Secondary status is per account status

#

Let gets the language clear though

#

Admin account (the one that has no games)

spring epoch
#

The account with games as to be primary to be able to gameshare

supple dagger
#

Supervised account (the one that has games and you want to share)

spring epoch
#

Yeah

#

OMG

#

No wait

supple dagger
#

So on his console, you have the Admin account set it as Primary/Secondary whatever, it doesn't matter

spring epoch
#

It's working

#

We did it the other way around

supple dagger
#

lmao

#

Hahaha

spring epoch
#

Sorry for all that confusion 😭

supple dagger
#

No worry, at least it's just a small mistake, not an actual problem

#

You have read our game-sharing guide, right?

spring epoch
spring epoch
#

I was still confused

#

Which is why i made that post

supple dagger
#

Yeah, it's a complicated thing

#

Basically, you just need to set on your console

#

only let the Supervised account to set your console as Primary

#

there is no need for the Admin account to be there at all

spring epoch
#

Well i was confused because on my switch i only had my account and the supervised one

#

But none was set as primary

supple dagger
#

Primary console status is an console-based status.
You can think it as "This account sees this console as Primary"

#

One console can have many accounts seeing it as the Primary console.

spring epoch
#

I see

supple dagger
#

But each account can only see one console as Primary.

#

Well, that's that. You are set, have fun 👋

#

If you still have question about it, ask here, I'll answer later.

#

Alright, thanks a lot mate 🙌🏽

Much love and have a great evening
