Pushing past the physical boundaries of movie-watching isn't the only convenience Netflix has granted us.

As you probably already know, Netflix allows you to have up to five profiles on one account, so that one person's show preferences don't mess with another's recommendations. All the users on the same account then can watch different shows at different times on different devices.

If you want to add someone new to your Netflix profile — or add a restricted access profile for a child — there's a very simple process to do so, if you don't already have five profiles on your account. In fact, if you already have more than one, you can add a new profile directly after logging in, from the same screen you'd normally select your profile in.

If you don't, or if you've already logged into your account, you can still do it, just with a few extra steps. Here's how to add a profile on Netflix.
