Allow managed users to delete content

+1 - Make it a check box like allow sync’ing, etc. I am also a new Plex Pass user and was surprised this isn’t already there.

Completely agree. We should be able to allow managed users ability to delete watched shows. To that point, I would also like to see some refinements. i.e. I think that I should be able to limit deletion privileges to only TV Shows (so that no accidental deletions happen to my movie collection).
When will this get added?

Yes its needed :wink:

Such an easy option but like many other greatly requested features it just gets ignored…this thread is 5 years old… :rage:

Just saw this vastly OLDER thread and now this beggars belief even more! Here’s what I posted on another thread…

Have to say, this is a complete deal breaker for me.

I bought the Plex Pass when it was on special a few months ago but I wish I hadn’t.

I should have RTFM’d more to be honest, but the sheer lack of the most fundamental options are a real turn off using Plex in practise.

The MAIN quibble is of course this nonsense that I cannot tick a box to tell the server to “allow” my wife to delete her own shows - there is NO WAY I will be messing about with all that housework. Also, my HD Homerun becomes a nightmare to administer if home users cannot delete their own stuff - the mind boggles!

Other notable nonsenses are:

An option to get rid of the spoiler pictures and synopsis for episodes on the Plex client (I use the fudge that is the excellent Plexkodiconnect, which DOES have spoiler free support). I don’t want to see the guy who supposedly died in one episode beaming out at me from a screen grab a couple of eps later - again, nonsense.

Also, I want to CHOOSE how much bandwidth to use over a mobile connection - no matter what I do, everything is garbled down to an unwatchable blocky mess - more nonsense.

Looks like Emby will be the better fit for me and I can say that as an I.T. guy I will surely be recommending an avoidance of Plex - especially now I have delved further and see that subjects like this one are upvoted for years on end without a simple toggle switch being added!

Keep my money - if I can put one person off the blackboard scraping annoyance that is Plex it will be worth it!
