Question on MDE and linking accounts

[Minnie824]

So for our trip this summer, my parents are traveling w/us. Us = party of 4 them = party of 2. I created a MDE account in my dad's name and linked everything and set everything up. When I went to make FPs... when logged in under my account I could do it for us (4) plus just my dad (1). When I logged in as my dad's account I could make FPs for them (2) plus me (1). Is this how its supposed to work? It ended up working out, I just did all ours first (4) then did a copy when logged in as their account for the 2 of them. But just curious if I missed some step or if there was some easier way.

We are traveling with my sister and her family and this is how it worked for us, as well.

To be able to make FP+ selections for your entire family from your fathers MDE account, he needs to add your managed profiles. On his MDE account, click on 'Add a Guest' and then select the 'Invite Through a Manage Friend' tab. After selecting your name from the drop list, all of your friends (including those that you manage) will be listed and you can select those to be added one at a time. You will need to approve the request from your MDE account.
