Transferring games between Xbox accounts directly is not supported due to digital rights management. However, you can utilize the 'Home Xbox' feature to share games. On the Xbox you want to share games with, sign in with the account that owns the games, then go to Settings > Personalization > My home Xbox, and select 'Make this my home Xbox'. This allows anyone signed in on that console to access the games. Remember, this can only be set to 'Home' on one Xbox at a time.
