I have several manged users (mainly my kids). I restrict their movies by tags. For example I’ve tagged all the movies with “Nathaniel” that I want my son to have access to and in user management for his account I restrict movies by the “Nathaniel” tag. This has worked very well. I finished creating all my collections and it works fine my main account but now all those collections seem hidden from managed users who have access to them. If I allow both collections and individual items to be shown (which I really don’t want) those individual movies will show up again in managed accounts but not the collection poster. Am I doing something wrong? Any way to fix this? One additional observation - I have one manged account that is only restricted by which libraries are available but no restrictions within those libraries. Collections works fine for that account.
reported and confirmed:
apparently with collections activated, Plex checks for a non-existing tag/label on the collection and decides the underlying items are therefore not visible/allowed to managed users. planned to be fixed in some future update of Plex Web (no ETA).
