Add a profile - Help page

!Hubzilla Support Forum
In the help page, it is said that: "To create an alternate profile, first go to Settings > Additional Features and enable "Multiple Profiles" there, otherwise you won't have the ability to use more than just your default profile."
It seems to me that this option doesn't exist, that you can create multiple profile by default. Am I correct?

Multiple profiles must be enabled by your hub admin.

So nothing to be done by the user anymore? If that's the case, the help page should be updated.

You could do this yourself via git @meaz or hope that some automatic idea->text->github magic process starts - in the incarnation of @Andrew Manning perhaps

if the admin allows the option “Multiple profiles” a user can activate this option for his channel.

If the admin does not allow the option “Multiple profiles” a user will not see this option and will not be able to creat more than one profile for a channel

Documentation is on it's way

By default, it is a member preference. In this case the hub admin enabled and also locked the feature in the enabled state. They can also lock it in the disabled state. I'm not certain you want to add this clause to the description of every feature that exists. It would of course be nice if our documentation could note and be conditional with the precise state of the admin settings, but that's an issue for another day.

I will keep that in mind if I come to this part of the documentation.
