I'm not really sure what you mean by "groups" of profiles, but you can definitely set up multiple different users on Jellyfin

I want them to have one account to log in with, and there are 4 profiles within that account. No need for every person on the server to have their profile on one huge page like plex

I wonder if what they're asking for is some sort of RBAC? All members of house A can all access content A and cannot access content B. But each individual retains distinct viewing history.

yes. My kids have an account that can only see kids stuff (and they are not admins either of course). I have admin rights. My wife can see everything but no admin rights. If you mean "I need a KIDS group where I can put all my kids' accounts so they inherit the same permissions" then no.

You can set up different user accounts and grant them different levels of access and functionality (i.e. disallow CPU-hogging transcodes). Users can also be restricted by MAC and hidden from the login screen unless you know the exact login name.

I have Jellyfin on my NAS and the "TV" user with which the living room TV is logged in only has permission to see certain folders of my movie library.
