I don't think it works that way. You can log in under your friends account and download/play his games but everything is still in his account. He will not be able to play while you are playing in his account. His trophies are just his. They aren't going merge into your account or anything, if that is what you are asking. Someone correct me if I am saying this wrong.
It's simple to do if you know and trust the other person involved.
Basically you set your primary console with his psn ID and he sets his PS4 with your psn ID.
When there is a primary user on a console any other users can use that content. As you will still sign in as yourself you also get all the content that is on your account, plus the content from the primary user, hence why you set each others console as the primary so you both get access to each other content as well as your own from signing in as yourself.
Hopefully I've explained it so it's understandable :lol:

You sign in as yourself on your console and have access to his content as well as your own.
He does the same and he has access to your content as well as his own.
If connection to Internet drops all the content that is not on the primary users account becomes locked as you need to be signed in if you're not set up as the primary user. So for example if his ID was primary on your console and your Internet went down, you would only have access to his content as you can't sign in on your user ID.

You explained it nicely. How many times are we allowed to change primary to secondary accounts and vice versa? I want to know if problems are to be expected if I keep changing them.
