I would like to allow a guest account on my HTPC to view Kodi with no restrictions.
I can't find assistance guiding me on the best/easiest way to do this.
Thanks in advance!

You could create 2 separate profiles, with a main profile that includes a password, and a guest profile that has all access (which is a bit odd..)

Not sure this works as guest local logon won't have access to Kodi's appdata. I think you need to run Kodi in portable mode and create shortcut for all users or one in each user's desktop with the -p switch.

Kodi is not a fortress. Any users, via profiles or otherwise, can get access to videos/music/files on the whole system by creating sources when they know how.
If you really don't want certain people to have access to your "other" files, this becomes an OS (Windows, Linux, Android, etc) user rights challenge. And that's beyond the realm of Kodi support.
