My son Huub is currently the manager of the family memebers in our subscription.

Can I change that to me?

    To change the manager of your Microsoft 365 Family subscription, you will need to follow these general steps:

    1. Sign in to your Microsoft account: Go to the Microsoft account page and sign in with the account that is currently the manager (in this case, your son Huub).
    2. Access Family settings: Navigate to the Family section of your account.
    3. Remove the current manager: You may need to remove Huub as the manager or change the roles within the family settings.
    4. Add yourself as the manager: Once Huub is no longer the manager, you can add yourself as the new manager of the family group.

    Please note that the exact steps may vary based on the current interface and updates from Microsoft. If you encounter any issues, it may be helpful to consult the Microsoft support documentation or contact their support for assistance.

    Hello, good day and thanks for your question. To add to the above, do you mean that your son is the owner of the subscription itself?
