Parental permissions after child turns 18

when my daughter was a minor I had the parental controls set to ask permission to download an app. She has turned 18 but now I can’t see how to turn them off. When I go to family sharing her account doesn’t give the option anymore. She is going to college and still has to ask permission to download an app. I need this turned off before she goes! Thanks!

How to turn off parental permissions for 18+ family member. My son is 18 going on 19 and he's included in our family sharing. Until he was 18, I had parental controls set up on his phone and every time that he wanted to download an app, his phone would send me a message requesting permission for the app. It worked great. But, once he turned 18, I no longer find that feature necessary. I've completely turned off parental permissions. I removed my account from the App Store and signed him in under his own name. I think I've done everything I need to do, short of removing him entirely from the family sharing, and I'm still receiving requests for app approval. What's wrong? How do I remove this feature?

Why Can’t I Use My Password to Change Parental Controls? I’m a parent/guardian in my family, but I’m unable to use my password to adjust parental controls for my kids. Why does it require the family organizer’s account for this? As a parent/guardian, shouldn’t I have access to make these changes?
