Hey folks,

I want to build a website for people that I have shared my Plex server with (via invite) so that only they can log in and send messages or requests through the website. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

Basically, I want to allow them to login and use CouchPotato to automate a request to download movies. This will also prevent me from having to create a new account for each person.
