Family Sharing

Setting up family sharing within work group and want to use my existing Apple id as the "parent" but have a different profile to manage the Family Sharing function.


Is this possible or do I need to have a totally new email/profile?.


Thanks

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 11.1

You can be a "parent" with ask-to-buy approval without also being the organizer. They are 2 unique functions.


Maybe you should outline your goal so we can offer better advice.


Be aware the organizer maintains the only method of payment for the family. Other family members can keep iTunes Gift Cards redeemed to their accounts, which will be charged first, but not a credit card.


If there are no credits on file, the organizer's card pays for all family purchases.
