Simple. Open Plex, click on the Settings symbol in the upper right side, go to Users, and you will see on the left side column “My Home” and “friends” Click on “Friends,” and in the upper right side you should see a button that says “invite friend.” Click on that and put the friend’s email address in and send it. Your friend will receive the invite to sign up for a free Plex account and can then log onto your server with the account, as long as the account uses the same email address that you sent the invitation to.

Thanks, but i want to make this with a simple HTTP request in command line, not in a web interface.
