Change Purchase Sharing settings in Family Sharing on Mac
On your Mac, use Purchase Sharing settings in Family Sharing to share purchases with other family members.
Note: To share purchases, family members must be in the same Apple Account country or region. If a family member changes their Apple Account country or region, that person might lose access to other family members’ purchases, and installed apps that were shared from other family members might not work. See the Apple Support article Change your Apple Account country or region.
To change these settings, choose Apple menu 
If you don’t see Family in the sidebar, set up Family Sharing.
