There are two types of PLAYSTATION® Network accounts: Master Accounts and Sub Accounts.
Master Account:
The standard account for using PLAYSTATION® Network. A master account can be created by a registered user of a specified age or older. Master account holders can adjust settings such as monthly spending limits or restrictions on voice / video chat for associated sub accounts.
Sub Account:
Accounts that can be used by anyone, including children. Sub accounts can be monitored by the associated master account holder. Sub account holders cannot create wallets but can make use of the wallet for the associated master account to pay for products and services. A sub account cannot be created if an associated master account does not exist.
The settings of a Sub Account are initially set up when the Sub Account is created.
