Plex does not provide such a feature, nor are there plans to add this. Does your router not limit local network access too? ---

In addition… there’s already an existing feature suggestion discussing an option to limit the access of users to a specific schedule. I suggest you comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes (even if there might be no immediate plans as stated above).

Sounds like you are using an overall control mechanism. Does your router have parental control features? This usually limits all access, even local, and can be done on a per device basis so you can limit your kids without affect yourself. ---

2023 clean-up: considered to be a duplicate (and partially no feature suggestion for Plex itself)
