Of those six, two can be designated Adults, while the other four can be either children or teens. Adults and teens will need an Amazon account, and children can be added by their parents directly. Go to Amazon Household and select the appropriate designation.

Adults and teens will be sent an email to confirm they want to join the household, while children can be added by their parents.
Tip
Child accounts are limited to what’s available in Amazon Kids and any content you allow on the device for them. Teen accounts have a bit more freedom, but still can’t place orders from your tablet without parental approval.

Once they’ve confirmed their accounts, swipe down from the top of your tablet and tap the profile picture in the top right of the menu. This will open a list of all profiles in your household. You may need to reboot your Fire tablet before you see a correct list.

Tap the one you prefer and it will switch to that profile. This can also be done from the lock screen by tapping the profile picture.
Tip
Adult accounts are locked so child and teen accounts won’t have access unless they have the PIN or password.

How to Share Content With People on an Amazon Fire Tablet
Sharing a profile doesn’t automatically mean you’re sharing all media. And if you only want to share some purchases and keep others private, you can do so at any time in a browser. Unlike lending a Kindle book, sharing content gives everyone approved in your household permanent access to that piece of content, until you change the settings. Go to the Amazon My Content and Devices page and choose Content on the upper left.
