Allow a non owner profile to be the default profile on boot
I would like to request an enhancement that when the phone boots up you can select which profile it is on instead of always the owner's profile. This is a request for an enhancement that would make running multiple profiles better.
I also think this is a good thing from a security perspective being able to hide the owner profile behind entering the user login first instead of the other way around.
With the current behavior, I have to sign in twice to get to my user profiles after a restart and someone gets to immediately start trying to break into my owner profile if my phone is left alone for several hours.
This is not currently possible due to sensitive system data being stored in Owner. You should just use Owner as your main profile right now.

Dang this would be so cool and useful. I was hoping it would be an easy change and a tick in the profile menu. I don't want it to be that the profile I'm on 99% of the time is the same one that has all the admin perms if my phone gets snatched with it signed in. Definitely think of doing this in the future.
Sandboxing those perms behind another profile is something I value more than the convenience of having to input my password twice (phone-snatching attacks are probably way more common where I am than any technological method and I know the system is pretty well-hardened in that aspect anyway). And the other benefit of hiding the owner is something I just can't do then that's a pure enhancement that comes from being able to select a profile.
