Click on Settings.

Click on Extra Users.
Step4
Click on the user name you want to set restrictions for.
Step5
Click on "No web restrictions" to change the restrictions for Web viewing.
Step6
Click on either "Unrestricted access," "Surfwatch screening" or "Kid-friendly only" to set the kinds of Web pages the user can view. Unrestricted users can view all sites. Surfwatch screening blocks sites deemed "mature" viewing by the Surfwatch software. Kid-friendly only lets the user see sites that have been marked by the software as appropriate for children.
Step7

Step8
Click on "No chat restrictions" to change chat restrictions.
Step9
Choose "Public rooms only" or No Chat, then click Continue. No Chat prevents the user from entering any chat rooms. "Public rooms" means that the user can't engage in "private" chats with individual chat users.
Step10
Click on "Can build web pages" to change that restriction.
Step11
Click the checkmark to prevent the user from creating Web pages, then click Continue.
Step12
Click Done three times.
