From the link I provided earlier (because Apple's copy and paste does not work for me with my browser you might just find it easier to go to the link and near the bottom you can read for yourself):




How to choose another approver



The family organizer can give another parent or

guardian in the group over the age of 18 permission to manage Ask to Buy

requests. Only one adult needs to manage each purchase, and after the

purchase is approved, it’s final. 






On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch



In iOS 16 or later:



  1. Go to Settings.
  2. Tap Family, then tap your family member's name.
  3. Tap Parent/Guardian.
  4. Tap Set as Parent/Guardian. 


In iOS 15 or earlier:



  1. Go to Settings, then tap your name.
  2. Tap Family Sharing, then tap your family member's name.
  3. Tap Role.

  4. Tap Parent/Guardian.








On your Mac



In macOS Ventura or later:



  1. Choose Apple menu  > System Settings, then click Family.
  2. Click a family member's name.
  3. Click Parent/Guardian.
  4. Select Set as Parent/Guardian, then click Done.


In macOS Monterey or earlier: 



  1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Family Sharing.
