Allow Admins full control of users

[FrED_F]

Coming from a Domain Admin environment, it seems to me that of all the things that PLEX does right, giving the PLEX Server Admin full control to add, change, reset pswd, set security requirements, . . . everything should be the Admins responsibility. The current process of invitation (which generally is already discussed with the invitee already), trying to navigate how to setup a new account, dealing with your friends email spam filters, logging into your new account, trying to change your pw, etc. could all be managed by the Admin for a much smoother user management experience. ADD a new user, set their access, send them username and pw, boom!

There’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option to set security requirements for users with whom you share your media (e.g. requiring them to use 2FA).

[Feature Request] Enforce 2FA policy on joined users

Just as important as 2FA for my own account, is enforcing the 2FA policy on the users in my server. Are there plans to implement the ability to enforce the 2FA policy so that any users on my server must have this enabled?

There’s also a suggestion discussing an option to manually edit the e-mail that’ll be sent when inviting another user (which I guess is primarily aiming at completely new users).

Edit email before sending an invitation to share server with a friend

To vote for this, click on "LikeThis" Thx -------   Edit the subject line and content before sending an invitation to share server with a friend.   When my friends receive the plex email invitation, they think it is spam. Also, the language is English, while my friends are French. I want to change the title of the e-mail subject and content if possible. For example :   Replace: You've been Invited to share a Plex media server by --> "First and Last name" wants to share with you the m…

For those parts, I suggest you comment/vote in the existing threads in order to avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes (although the 2nd suggestion is quite dated and doesn’t have any votes of its own right now).

I’m a bit skeptical as for setting their passwords etc. – keep in mind… this isn’t your own account but theirs. Knowing how many users won’t change their passwords, that’ll give you access to quite a lot of what they do and raises the question… why not simply let them set their own password while signing up to Plex? My mom is far from being a technical genius and I walked her through creating her own account in a few minutes, making this a non-issue (for me/her).

Thanks Tom80H. I reviewed the other existing suggestions as you mentioned. Having the tools to better manage user accounts would allow Admins greater control for secure access to their server content and likely reduce the bulk of support requests that I see every week about accounts.

Thanks for your continued efforts to help PLEX, and Admins like us to improve the platform and user experiences. FrED_F
