Learn about AXIS user profile types, switching profiles, and parental lock across various devices.*
AXIS allows users to create their own profiles, edit them, and switch between them if required. User profiles can help you gain a better understanding of each of your user's audience members, which you can utilize to deliver targeted user experiences on a per profile basis. Select a platform below to see how profiles work across the different AXIS apps:
Profile Types:
Three types of user profiles are available in AXIS:
- A standard profile that has access to all content (based on entitlements)
- A kids profile that has limited access to content based on age classification (Parental Lock)
- And a restricted profile that requires a pin for access
Viewing and editing profiles:
To view their profiles, your users can navigate to the account page by clicking on their profile icon at the top of their screen and scrolling down to the "Profiles" section.
Your users may also want to make changes to these profiles. With AXIS, your users can rename these profiles, change their profile type, edit their restriction level OR delete a profile.
Note
Only users with a standard or restricted profile have access to the Account page.
Switching profiles:
If, at any point, your users wish to switch profiles, they can do this by hovering over their profile icon and choosing "switch user." If they are switching to a restricted profile, they are prompted to enter their 4 digit pin code.
Parental Lock:
Preventing children from accessing age-restricted content is often a top priority for parents. AXIS allows your users to set a parental lock on items above a particular classification rating. Once set, your user needs to enter a pin code to view any content above a particular classification when using this profile.
How does it work?
Your users can select a classification level under the "Parental Lock" section on their Account Settings page.
Once a classification level is set, the restriction applies across all profiles on the account.
Access is then restricted via PIN when watching content that is on or above the set classification level.
In this example, the content is set to ‘R’ - meaning that all content playback for assets rated 'R' or above are restricted and require a pin to access.
