NOOK Proles
A NOOK Prole™ tailors content and shopping experiences on your NOOK for
an individual user.
Your NOOK supports up to six NOOK proles, enabling
different people to use your NOOK in different ways.
On the Samsung Galaxy Tab A NOOK, each prole
features:
•
A user account managed through Settings.
•
A device name, which is displayed on the Wi-Fi
network when this prole is active.
•
A name and icon displayed on the lock screen,
enabling the prole to be selected once two or more
proles have been created.
All the purchases made on your NOOK through any
prole are processed through the NOOK or BN.com
account to which your NOOK is registered.
Types of Proles
Your Samsung Galaxy Tab A NOOK supports three types
of NOOK Proles:
•
Primary Prole: This is the prole created by
default when you register your NOOK. This prole
can view all the content on the device. It can also
create and edit proles for other users and manage
those proles’ access to content. All purchases
made on the NOOK are processed using the payment
method associated with this prole.
NOOK by Barnes & Noble 49 NOOK Profiles
•
Adult Prole: An adult prole can purchase any
type of content. An adult prole can also control
which content is visible to itself and which content
is visible to any child prole. It can also set parental
controls for child proles. It cannot control which
content is visible to the primary prole.
•
Child Prole: By default, a child prole can only view
and purchase content authorized by the primary
prole or through parental controls congured by an
adult prole. A child prole does not have the ability
to create or edit other proles. It cannot override
parental controls.
Set up a New or Existing Adult
Prole
To set up an adult prole:
1. From a Home screen, tap Apps > Settings.
2. Tap Users.
3. Tap Add user or prole.
4. Tap User, and then follow the prompts to create the
prole.
Note: During the new prole setup, you have the option
to skip, sign-in, or create several types of accounts for
the new prole. You are also able to name the prole,
which is specic for your NOOK prole. Once signed in,
you are prompted to assign a name to the device.
NOOK by Barnes & Noble 50 NOOK Profiles
Create a Child Prole
Simple-to-use parental controls help create a
“kid-safe” experience on your NOOK. Using parental
controls, you can limit the types of content that child
proles can view and purchase. You set up parental
controls when you create a child prole. You can adjust
them later if you like by editing the child prole.
Using parental controls, you can control whether or not

account can be used for other apps. However, if the user
wants to access NOOK apps or content, he or she has to

Manage Content for a Prole
Share Content
The same content can be shared by multiple proles.
Each prole must download the content independently
to access it.
For example, if the Primary Prole owns a particular
NOOK Book and grants another prole access to it,
the book appears in the other prole’s Library with a
download icon, indicating that the book is available for
download. To read the book, the other prole simply
has to tap its cover to download it to the prole’s
storage area on your NOOK.
Annotations, such as notes and highlights, are specic
to a prole. If one prole makes notes and highlights in
a book, they are not visible to other proles reading the
same book.
Similarly, if two proles own the same book,
their reading positions in the book are tracked
independently. If one prole reads to page 17 and the
other prole reads to page 25, each prole is taken to
his or her most recently read page when the book is
reopened. The rst prole is returned to page 17; the
second prole to page 25.
