Introduction
If you want to give other members of your household access to your Comcast account, you can create a username for each of them online.
Additional usernames
A Comcast account can have up to six additional usernames.
To add a username:
- Sign in to My Account as the primary user.
- Click the Users & Preferences tab at the top of the page.
- Click the Add a user tab (located next to your primary user name and any other usernames associated with your account).
- Fill out the form with the new user’s information and click the yellow Add user button.
- You will then see the new username added to your list of usernames in your account.
User permissions
When you create a new user, the user doesn't have any permissions. The user can only utilize some account features, like watching XFINITY® TV online and using email (if you have XFINITY TV and Internet).
You can change a user's permissions anytime.
To change a user's permissions:
- Sign in to My Account as the primary user.
- Click the Users & Preferences tab at the top of the page.
- Select the username you want to edit from the tabs of users listed on the page.
- Click the Edit Permissions link next to ‘user’s Permissions’.
- Choose the permissions you want the user to have and click Save.
