112-04 Active User Notification

Scenario Severity Platform
The title prompts the user to accept a license agreement before indicating the active user. Not Relevant (-4) Xbox One, Xbox Series
For a given user, launching the title for the first time leads with minor options (such as language, screen safe zone, brightness - options which would unlikely change per user on the same console) before indicating the active user. Not Relevant (-4) Xbox One, Xbox Series
The title displays the user's Windows Live ID (email address) instead of the gamertag. Not Relevant (-4) Xbox One, Xbox Series
The title prompts the user to link to a publisher account before displaying the active user, but the account linking process happens separately, the process in which the active user is displayed before allowing account creation. (Known examples: Ubisoft Club) Not Relevant (-4) Xbox One, Xbox Series
No current scenario. Very Minor (1)
It is technically possible for the user to find a user indication but this is indication is not obvious and is unlikely to be considered by many users [Compliance meeting/2 July 2015] (See also FMA Notes below.) Minor (2) Xbox One, Xbox Series
No current scenario. Moderate (6)
The title does not indicate the active user of the title prior to performing the first moderate or major profile-related action. Selecting the active user via the account picker is not included as a method of indicating the active user. Critical (12) Xbox One, Xbox Series
The title allows the user to link an Xbox profile to a partner account before displaying the active user. Critical (12) Xbox One, Xbox Series
No current scenario. Catastrophic (22)

Notes

  • Note that this is only applicable to ERA and UWP Multiple User Application (MUA) titles.
  • Displaying the active user when they reach the main menu is fine. The spirit of the XR is "don't jump right into my game or start messing with a user's save data until I know who I'm playing as"
  • A title that does not use user profiles does not need to indicate the active user.
  • A title can display multiple active users for game modes that support multiple users.
  • If the user can press the Menu button to view their gamerpic or gamertag before profile related actions, this is considered an acceptable indication of the active user.

112-06 Handling Profile Change

    3. In Home Menu the user signs in a second profile (Profile B) and chooses to use that profile (Home Menu will display Profile B context/ Theme and so on)
