Kodi / documented application workflow · Publisher-documented application guidance; UK IPTV account compatibility not tested. Instructions are based on publisher guidance; a UK IPTV account was not tested on this platform.
Decide what needs to differ
Before creating another Kodi profile, identify the purpose: a different library, different source folders, separate visual preferences or a combination. Write down what the current default profile contains. A profile is useful for organising a shared installation, but it is not a new viewing-service subscription, a new operating-system user or evidence that an additional simultaneous connection is authorised.
Read the sharing options
The official profile documentation distinguishes media information from media sources, and offers separate or shared arrangements. During creation, Kodi also offers choices about copying settings and sources. Read those choices instead of accepting them automatically. Copying a current configuration can be convenient, but a fresh profile and a copy of an existing one do not begin with the same library relationships.
Verify with a small harmless change
After creating the intended profile, test its visible library and source list before making broad changes. Use an innocuous preference or a small authorised sample to confirm the separation you intended. If two profiles share media information, do not assume an edit is isolated just because the profile picture differs. Keep a backup of a valued setup before changing its sharing arrangement.
Keep the security boundary honest
The Kodi wiki explicitly says profiles are not a security feature and notes that a web interface may allow profile changes without a password. Do not store sensitive credentials on the assumption that a profile label makes them inaccessible. Use appropriate device and account controls for those concerns. This guide explains the documented profile choices; it does not confirm UK IPTV account sharing or a tested multi-user deployment.
