Can I have one Plex client that doesn't see certain servers?

I have Plex Pass (in case that matters) and when the grandkids come to visit they have a TV in their own room they can watch. We don’t want them to watch some (most) of the movies we have. In fact, I’d rather they just watch the animated ones I have on one server. Short of creating a separate Plex account for them is there any way when running the client on that device (Roku) I can have the servers it sees restricted to just that one? I know I can tailor the home tabs, but they are resourceful and would surely scroll down to “More” and see other things (they are, after all, kids and do the same things I did when I was that young :>).

If I can’t restrict the servers perhaps there’s a way to restrict the libraries?

That’s what separate user accounts are for.
Create a “managed” user. https://support.plex.tv/articles/203948776-managed-users/

Then grant this user only access to a few select libraries. You may restrict access further by defining only suitable age ratings. https://support.plex.tv/articles/204232573-restricting-the-shares/

Once this user is set up, perform the “Switch User” procedure in the Plex client on the Roku.

Don’t forget to set a PIN on your account, so the kids cannot switch back easily.

Okay, thanks.
