[Feature Request] Add users to folders instead of/in addition to Adding folders to users

Currently, when sharing folders with other Plex users, you go into Settings --> Users. Once at that screen, you select a specific user and put checks in the boxes next to the folders they have permission to see.

What I’m proposing is another view in Settings where you have a list of your folders; once you click on a specific folder’s name, it gives a list of your approved users and you can put checks in the boxes next to their names to give them permission to see the items in that folder.

It helps when you have seasonal folders like “Christmas” that you only want to be visible during a certain part of the year. Right now, I have to go into each user’s “account” and select the one folder, save, then go into the next user and select the one folder, save, etc. Under the current configuration, it’s unwieldy and takes more time than it should.

There is an existing request for this. Rather than splitting votes across several threads, please add your vote by clicking ‘Like’ on the first post in that thread.

Apologies; I’m rather new and didn’t see the other thread. I went over there and “liked” the post, as you instructed. Thanks!!
