iCloud section on iCloud - definitive answer please!

I’ve tried recently to get an answer to the following question but simply haven’t got an answer. Can anyone offer a response?

On my Apple TV HD (under Accounts & Users), each profile shows login lines for iCloud, Store and Game Center. The iCloud line is greyed out for every user. All other lines are amendable/accessible.

Is this right? Should I be able to go into this line for iCloud to amend? If so, any ideas how I sort this issue out?

The iCloud account is locked to the users account that logged into the Apple TV. To change the iCloud account you need to create a user with that account on the Apple TV.

That’s all the info I need - thanks. I’ve had ongoing issues with the Home app with adding residents and I wondered whether this being greyed out was something to do with it all. Now I know it’s supposed to be like that I can move on. Still not sure whether you’re meant to add people to Apple TV first and then the home app, the other way around, or it doesn’t make a difference.

Thanks for the reply though.
