What does supervised mean on Nintendo Switch?

On a Nintendo Switch, "supervised" refers to a child's Nintendo Account within a family group, allowing parents or guardians (the account "Admin") to set restrictions on playtime, eShop spending, content access (based on age ratings like ESRB), and communication, all managed through the Nintendo Switch Parental Controls app. Supervised accounts can use regular features but can't leave the family group or make changes to their own restrictions without parental approval, ensuring a safer gaming environment.
