"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?

*UPDATE*

After some research I found out hat this blockage is directly related with the Screen Time options/settings on iOS and/or MacOS. Sonoma goes even on more MacOS sections (you might noticed) I've seen them on many settings MBP.

If you set some Screen Time controls on your iPhone and you enable the "Share Across Devices" it will "block" many options or settings on your Mac.

So the solution is just to disable Screen Time controls on your Mac or try with its settings to fits your needs and/or disable "Share Across Devices".

That worked quite charm for me. Hope that help you!
