User Profiles

The User Profile enables personalized viewing experiences within a single account by allowing multiple profiles with customized settings, parental controls, and content filtering. Each profile ensures that users see content aligned with their preferences and appropriate rating levels.

This feature is supported on TV, Handheld and Responsive web devices.

Profile Management

Create

• Users can create:

  • Adult profiles

  • Kids profiles (with restricted content access)

Delete

• Profiles can be deleted successfully with proper confirmation.

• Restrictions apply for:

  • Kids profiles (based on parental control rules)

  • Currently active profile

  • Default profile (cannot be removed)

Profile-Based Content Personalization

When a profile is selected, the following sections dynamically adapt based on the profile’s rating and preferences:

• Discover

• Guide

• Search

• NPVR (Network Personal Video Recorder)

Profile Lock

• A global profile lock mechanism ensures restricted access to protected profiles.

• Lock status remains synchronized across:

  • Settings screen

  • Profile Add new/edit screen

Additional Behavior

• Session Persistence

  • On app relaunch, foreground/background transitions, or standby wake-up, the last used profile is automatically logged in.

• Single Profile Experience

  • If only one profile exists, users bypass the profile selection screen and are logged in directly.
