I added a new user and lost my admin rights and now can’t view anything or manage. Please help.
Did you add someone to your Plex Home, or did you join your friend’s Plex Home? That’s usually what causes this. Joined another Home and lost custom users from previous home
If you leave your friend’s Home, you should become admin of your own Home again. If you had managed users before, you will have to recreate them.
Read This First:
Well, regardless how it happened, the only way to get out of it is to leave the Plex Home. You only have one Managed User, so you won’t have a huge job rebuilding.
so I basically remove my accounts and log back in?
hmm can’t seem to leave. I’m stuck 
If that’s your account, what are you locked out of?
Everything I can’t manage anything anymore or see any media libraries.
What happens if you try the local version? http://127.0.0.1:32400/web/index.html
Okay, you just jumped out of my league.
I found another thread that looks like a similar issue. It looks like maybe there was a problem in a build of PMS that was fixed. Make sure you have the build with the fix. Looks like there may be some steps to follow in the later posts. Otherwise, someone else is going to have to jump in on this. Good luck!

hmm I’m on the latest version. I feel lost :(. I appreciate the support you have provided.
Anyone else have any ideas?
Tried the steps in this article but it didn’t work.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
May be @trumpy81 or @ChuckPa (or both) field of awesomeness to help fix in unraid docker.
Good luck.
But I will add you can share your libraries, but not via Plex home I don’t think. (Or I’m talking nonsense)
Thanks.
Hopefully, @trumpy81 or @ChuckPa can help. I’m at a loss. What sucks I spent the last week manually fixing my movie catalog. I really don’t know what went wrong.
What went wrong as far as I’m aware is a Plex home user sharing his Plex home with someone else.
If I recall it breaks stuff.
Again I may be talking nonsense but it’s like the users saying “I’m the Admin… NO I’m the Admin”
Simpler shares for users running their own servers should work fine. Again hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.
Yeah some definitely broke and I have no clue. how to fix it.
Yeah for that you will have to just wait for a reply from the pings.
Please don’t ping them again though. We all have different time/sleep zones.
I’m sure they will pick up on them.
