I have a managed user for my child. I'd like to be able to allow that user to see specific shared libraries from my friends who have lots of kid appropriate content. I don't see this as a problem since a managed user is really just a view into the primary users account and doesn't exist outside …

It seems like it’s been over a year since any Plex employee has been here. We have to assume that this feature will never be implemented due to a “what if…” policy that should be resolved between the server owner and the invited friend with configuration options between them.

Just chiming in at how unintuitive this restriction is. For years I have presumed that all libraries that are available to me are also available to users in my “Plex Home”. We share devices, after all. I don’t need Plex to be a ProxyNanny for me here. I can easily manage all of this myself. Just le…

I run a server. My family that speaks another language has access to my library. I would like my family to be able to have multiple users on one account (different than the account sharing the library due to the language situation), all with access to the same library. Ultimately, there are only le…

I invite friends and family to my server. And most of my friends and family have wives, husbands, kids, etc. It would be absolutely amazing if I invited someone via their email. And once they’ve accepted the invite, they can then create profiles associated to their email. Giving them the ability…

Hello. I’m new to Plex and this exactly what’s missing. I need this to set up my home media. I have a friend sharing movies with me. And I want my kids to watch some of that content. Or set up just one device (tv in the living room) to access age appropriate content from shared library. How do I do …

[image] trueboar: How do I do it? You can’t. That is what this feature request is asking for

Counter-suggestion: managed users are clearly confusing. They also contribute to the password sharing security problem. Take them away. Just have normal users.

It’s been 10 years :-)… Plex must have good reasons not to do this. However there is something not logical in this whole managed users thing. They are not plex users, the way I see this. Just some kind of “sub-users” under my own account. When I look at this this way it seems completely feasible tha…

Seems like an easy add, why can’t this be done? Parent owns main account, has media kids should not watch so sets up a kids account with age restrictions. Relative shares home videos, with can’t be shared with the child account for some unknown reason, meaning you need to trade family videos for ch…
