AppleTV, Users, Settings, and Parental Controls
I am a little confused on restrictions and adding different Users to Apple TV? Is there a way to force a user to enter a PIN when Apple TV starts up or wakes from sleep? Similar to what Plex and Amazon.app do?
It seems that the default user is always logged in - as a parent who doesn't want restrictions for himself but does want the restrictions chosen in Screen Time settings to apply to their children when they watch Apple TV this is very confusing.
I would think it would work like this:
Open or Turn on Apple TV - it asks which user and requests a PIN for that user.
That user's personal settings stored locally or in iCloud (Screen Time or otherwise) are in force.

How it appears to work:
Turn on Apple TV and it opens to whatever user account was active before it was turned off or went to sleep - the "Default user". ( This means kids can watch whatever content the Default user (parent) has set to watch). There doesn't appear to be a way to "sign out".
So how do I force my kids to use the settings I have chosen for them while watching TV on the Apple TV?
Creating a very restricted generic user requires creating a new Apple User account? What if I have a 4 year old and an 17 year old in the house. Doesn't seem far to the 17 year old.
