Restricted user on Samsung Galaxy, preventing child account from accessing admin account.

[JasonM]

Can anyone help on the following.

I'm setting up a Samsung Galaxy tablet for a friend, they have a child who will be using the device and setting up a restricted account for him.

We have managed to setup the restricted account, however the child is managing to switch back to admin account.

How do you set an individual password on an admin account. At the moment when you switch accounts it's asking for a pin, however the pin is the same pin the child logs into their account.

Also related but separate. We want to install Minecraft for the child to use, however we wish to restrict Minecraft so the child can't purchase upgrades. How do you install a version of Minecraft the child can't purchase addon's with.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Update on this.

Only had to set a password on the admin account, sounds very simple, however I found other posts on the internet struggling to solve same issue.

Also to stop the child buying Minecraft updates, disable purchases from the play store via the admin account.

Now however a new issue...

How do you restrict Google on the child account? Currently the child can access Google and search for anything. We have tried to disable Google for the resisted child account but not able to remove. Anyone have any ideas on this?

Could try looking here, not sure if they have setup the kid's Google account as a family/child account:
