    How can I set up users/profiles such that when they open the client app (regardless of client device), they are presented with all the established users and all they need to do is select their avatar/icon and jump into their session; as in how most streaming services have user profiles setup?

    At the moment, I just have one user created (myself, Admin).  I am assuming I still need my account to log into the server the first time on each device/app.  After that, I just want my users to open the app, select their name and/or icon, and then begin perusing the library and watching movies at will.  Do I just setup users in the server dashboard without setting passwords for them?

    This is going to be client-specific, not a server setting. I know you can do this with the AndroidTV client, but I am unsure about others.

    Roku has a similar setup as AndroidTV. Once you login a user once, you can switch freely without having to re-enter credentials.
