"Account changes are restricted by a profile," making changes to Apple ID on Sonoma?

On my MBP running Sonoma 14.1 MacOS, in Settings under my Apple ID, all the settings are grayed out, and it says "Account changes are restricted by a profile." What is causing this?

I spoke to an Apple support person about this. I don't think you need to share your screen time across devices.


On Mac, they said go to System Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy > Preference Restrictions > enable Allow Account Changes.

This solved the issue for me within a minute or two.
