I have a NAS device with Plex. Three plex users

 ![Usuarios](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/1/c/1caaab233ede219ab60984f6f6e23607bc5e2010.jpeg) , the administrative one, the one of my small daughters and one called “guests”. JUst like 5.000 songs and 1.000 music videos inside, with all my media I have created playlists to keep everything organized by musical genre and make it more friendly according to the moment ![Playlist](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/8/9/89ad102d4289b823cffaf6e7b15db379c09396b2.jpeg) . The problem is that the guests user do not have access to these playlists. For my visitors I would have to give access to my user, which is not ideal because it is administrative and can edit. ![Edit%20User](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/0/f/0f478c317e32334f2d95982352329809bfb6500a.png) Please allow sharing playlists between users of the same device. ![Shared](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/a/4/a4959616f1864544d1d811e61f690bc136dcf733.png)

you know you don’t need to create playlists to categorize your music like this… simply use the built-in genres / moods / … flags – overwrite them if you don’t like the automatic values.  
then your users can simply access the library and filter according to e.g. genre.
