For the love of GOD why isn’t this a thing? I could build this in PHP in 30 minutes! I mean having to go through all ~30 of my friends if i rebuild my server or want to edit their permissions is just mind blowing its not in there. A simple checkbox/drop down box system for editing permissions on friends would make this so much less painful. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help with this! ---

Like grouping friends and manage their permissions on a group level? There’s already a feature suggestion for that… it seems there’s not been much interest so far > [@User Groups](https://forums.plex.tv/t/user-groups/297550): > > The ability to group users to grant permissions would be amazing. Currently, if I want to restrict access to a certain plex library, I have to individually remove it from each user. The same goes for adding access to a plex library. Additionally, having groups where one can restrict the rating of the content they watch would also be very beneficial. Granted, most plex users probably don’t have 10+ users who have access to their library, but it would still be nice even with a small number. Unless you’re asking for something significantly different, I propose to close this to avoid distracting (the few) votes in different but similar requests. ---
