Cannot assign users in xfinity app

I can no longer manage the users on my account via the Xfinity app - I know this is a recurring problem. This means that parental controls that I would like to unassign are still in place and I have no control over them. HELP!

bblank - You’re in the right place, and I’m here to help! Could you walk me through the steps you’ve taken so far and let me know where things aren’t working as expected? That way, we can figure this out together. Included below is a helpful article with more information on how you're able to manager user roles on your Xfinity account.

The first issue is my app doesn't even know my Wi-Fi name - before recent app updates, it at least knew that, even though the ability to manage devices was gone. When I open the app, it asks me to "Give your WiFi network a name". Well, it has had a name since we got the modem, so that doesn't make sense. Because of this, the app doesn't even give me the option to manage WiFi or users or devices.

My issue is the same as: https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/xfinity-app/my-existing-people-profiles-assigned-devices-and-schedules-for-people-w-assigned-devices-are-no-longer-accessible-in-xfinity-app/6733835ff5a02920e72a27d6

So far I've rebooted my phone, deleted the app, reinstalled it, rebooted again, etc. Still no resolution. I have also had the Xfinity Assistant send a restart signal to my modem.

Thanks
