Permissions question

[apschaefer]

The new permissions features are great, no fear of having recordings deleted or settings played with! However I have a question. Is there a way to enforce parental controls on a profile by profile basis? or is this perhaps a planned functionality?

I would like to have parental controls enabled when logged in with the 'Kids' profile (IE, on an extender in a child's bedroom), while also having an adults profile on another extender in a different bedroom (that does not prompt for a parental control password when pg13+ content pops up).

Something else I thought would be nice is passwords on the profiles.

Anyone have an answer to this as I have this question as well. I would really like to be able to have the ability to have different user types (Mom, Dad, Kids) that are password protected - not unlike each user having their own logins. Ideally it would be very easy and fast to switch logins.

If you disable access to 'General Setup', then there'll be an item on the Main Menu under Setup to switch to a different profile (subject to entering the unlock code if you have one set).
