Can't create Managed user "User must be an Admin"

Server Version#: 1.16.3.1433

I’ve been browsing the forums and haven’t been able to to find an answer.

I’m trying to add a managed user to my Plex Home, but every time I try, I get an error stating that I must be an admin. My question is how do I change my account to admin? And yes, I have a Plex Pass. I have deleted my server several times as far as to remove all registries, temp files, and localhost files. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Mine doesn’t show those options.

This should be solved now.
