Roku Parental Controls
Roku parental controls rely on PINs, not profiles. Your account PIN at my.roku.com controls purchases and channel additions, a separate parental controls PIN restricts The Roku Channel by rating, and Roku TV settings can restrict live broadcast channels. Third-party apps such as Netflix and YouTube have separate controls.
