I have been searching and can not see if this has been asked already. I am trying to see if there is a way to give someone remote admin access to my server to allow them to Update libraries, and edit Meta data / Tags etc. ---

Administrative tasks are only allowed for the server admin - i.e. you. Whether you are signed into your plex account from remote or not doesn’t matter, as long as [remote access in Plex](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200484543-Enabling-Remote-Access-for-a-Server "remote access in Plex") is generally working. You cannot give another user administrative permissions. You’d either have to give him your own plex credentials ( **not** recommended) or use a workaround, like setting up a file share where the user can upload his content. The library updates are then either triggered manually by you or you let Plex server [update its libraries periodically](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200289526-Library "update its libraries periodically") (don’t set the time between updates too short!) ---
