Can't share to managed user?

I recently moved my Plex server from one computer to another. My daughter, a managed user, can’t see any content, just a message saying I haven’t shared any libraries with her.

How do I share the libraries with her? Every attempt I make results in a dialog asking me to invite a friend by username or email address, and as a managed user she has neither. The only name associated with her managed user account is her first name, which is what is displayed on the “switch user” menu, but I tried entering that into the dialog and it just told me it was invalid.

How did this easy thing get to be hard?

Found it, at last. Not intuitive, but in case anybody else finds this post because of the same confusion:

Select “Home Users” from the left navigation. Edit the managed user’s account. That dialog has a link on the left with the name of the server, select that. there will be checkboxes for which libraries to share.
