> I have several manged users (mainly my kids). I restrict their movies by tags. For example I’ve tagged all the movies with “Nathaniel” that I want my son to have access to and in user management for his account I restrict movies by the “Nathaniel” tag. This has worked very well. I finished creating all my collections and it works fine my main account but now all those collections seem hidden from managed users who have access to them. If I allow both collections and individual items to be shown …

I have managed users locally, with restrictions to G movies only. When I have set of movies in collection, this movies are not visible as they hide inside collection and now I have to assign some rating to collection as well!  
It’s absolutely ridiculous to have collections with content rating !!!

I am also experiencing this issue, it would be nice to have an automatic workaround instead of having to manually update each collection.
