Change Restrictions preferences in the Apple TV app on Mac
In the Apple TV app on your Mac, use the Restrictions pane in TV preferences to prevent access to the iTunes Store, shared libraries, and certain types of content. For computers with multiple user accounts, you can set different controls for specific users but still allow unrestricted access from administrator accounts.
To change these preferences, choose TV > Preferences, then click Restrictions.
Before making changes, if the lock at the bottom left is locked , click it to unlock a preference pane.
Note: If you unlock the pane but options are dimmed, it’s because the Screen Time Content & Privacy Restrictions are turned on. See Set up content & privacy restrictions in Screen Time on Mac.
