User profiles on Galaxy S9?

[zacadams]

Would anyone know if the Galaxy S9 natively supports user profiles so that multiple users can login and use the same phone with their unique settings and apps? If not would anyone be able to recommend an application that could accomplish this?

The functionality has been disabled for stock Samsung ROMs long time ago (if it was ever enabled). There were some discusions in the past regarding this and what I remember is that you need root for this to work. You have to edit build.prop and include the lines:

fw.show_multiuserui=1
fw.max_users=n (where "n" is a number indicating the max users on device - should be at least 2)

Alternative is to flash an AOSP based ROM that has the function enabled.

I unfortunately cannot root the device as it will be provisioned for company use :/ is there a launcher that could help to accomplish this?

Sorry, none I know. The functionality is deep embeded in the OS, a launcher would not be enough to accomplish that

You could however use dual accounts for certain apps or mail and also use Secure Folder to lock out personal/private data. This way you will have some sort of multi user since the secure folder keeps data in separate encrypted form
