XBMC supports multiple user profiles, much the same as setting up individual users on your home computer. These individual profiles allow you to customize the environment for multiple users, allowing for such functionality as:
- Customized view settings such as skins for each user
- The ability to lock folders, such as network shares on a per-user basis
- Unique RSS feeds for each user
- Unique keymapping for each user
All options stored in The UserData Folder can be customized per profile, allowing for an amazing amount of flexibility.
Note: There are many references to the Master Code below. See Master Lock for more information.
