Parents: How to Link Your Child’s Account

What is a Roblox account with parent privileges?

A Roblox account with parent privileges allows you to approve certain actions for your child on Roblox. You can also explore Roblox as an avatar on your own, or with your child. When creating an account with parent privileges, you’ll be asked to enter your birthday, verify your age using a government-issued ID or credit card, and link to your child’s Roblox account. Learn more in the Parental Controls FAQ help article.

By linking your account to your child's, you can view and update parental controls for your child all from your own device. You also get access to insights about your child's Roblox usage, such as their daily screen time and on-platform friends. To get started, you need a Roblox account with parent privileges linked to your child's account.

    1. Select Create account if you do not have a Roblox account. If you already have your own Roblox account, select Use existing account to log in.
      Note: The email address on your Roblox account must match the email that you received

    3. After verifying your age, the page will automatically refresh. Select Agree to link to your child’s account, and you’ll be able to approve certain actions for your child.
