Using Multiple User Profiles on Device

  • Updated

Attention: To provide the best possible AR experience for our customers and support our ecosystem moving forward, we are unlocking all enterprise features to all Magic Leap 2 devices in the OS 1.12.0 release.

 

Starting with Magic Leap OS 1.2.0, Magic Leap 2 users with a Developer Pro or Enterprise license can set their devices up to support multiple user profiles. This feature can be enabled from the Settings menu. This feature is currently in a "preview" state and not all functionality may work as expected.

Enabling Multiple User Support

  • Go to "Settings > System"

A cursor hovering over the 'Advanced' menu option in the System Settings 

    • Select "Advanced", more menu options will appear
    • Select "Multiple users"

A cursor hovering over the 'Multiple Users (Preview)' option in the 'Advanced Settings' menu

  • In the "Multiple users" menu, toggle the "Off" toggle on

Creating and Modifying Users

  • You'll then see a list of users on the device (including a Guest account)
    • Selecting the gear icon next to an existing user lets you:
      • Rename the user (note: the "Guest" user cannot be renamed)
      • Delete the user (note: the "Guest" and admin users cannot be deleted)
  • New users can also setup profiles, run custom fit and an option to setup a device lock
  • New users can be created from the Settings and from the device lock screen

Switch Users

  • You can switch to a different user profile by going to the "Multiple users" menu and selecting the user profile you wish to use
  • User profiles can also be switched by select the Magic Leap meteorite icon from the app launcher and select "Switch user"

The user switching menu on the main app launcher screen

  • Users can be switched from the Lock Menu

Select

    • In order to enable the capability to switch or create a new user from the lock menu, enable the "Add user from lock screen" toggle

Notes and Known Issues

  • When multi-user mode is enabled, app installation's behavior changes
  • There is a gear icon next to the Guest user, selecting this brings up a blank menu
  • Users are unable to delete themselves; only the admin is able to delete users
  • The admin user is required to unlock the device on boot-up, we recommend leaving the device on to avoid this issue when multiple users use the device
