This post has mentioned steps to manage restricted profiles on Android tablets.

Benefits Of Using Restricted Profiles:

You can restrict other users from seeing your account and content on it. If a tablet is put in a display as KIOSK, log in with a restricted profile and allow them to access chosen apps and features. If a tablet kept in a showroom, with this profile logged in, you could allow customers to explore tablet features but restrict them from playing games.
