[Feature Request] Choose a Default Managed User

SELF INTRODUCTION:
I’m a major fan of Plex. I use it everyday.
I’ve been running a Plex server almost two years. Every step I’ve seen the Plex team take has been in the right direction. Keep up the amazing work. :slight_smile:

MY REQUEST:
I would like the option to select a default managed user. If a default managed user is selected, Plex will bypass the ‘Select User’ screen. If this is option is available on a device by device basis, it will make the experience a little more fluid for users with only one managed user, or for single-user devices.

MY REASONING:
I use an nVidia Shield TV in my living room. The user selection screen is perfect for shared family devices like mine.
I also use Plex on a phone and personal tablet. I’m the only one who uses those. I don’t like being asked which user I am every time I launch Plex on those devices. (Individuals with only one Managed User probably agree.) It would be nice if I could select a default user, so Plex would automatically bypass the user selection screen. The experience would be a little more fluid, especially since, in the past, there was no prompt to select a user every time Plex is launched!

THE CONCLUSION:
Thanks for taking the time to read my humble post. If this post even somewhat moved your heart, please give it +1.

I love you. Godspeed.
May the (heavily underutilized) force be with you. Live long and prosper.
May the odds be ever in your favor! (apparently, odds in your favor = killing children)
Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold.

There is an option under settings / account to Sign in automatically which will do just what you want.

That option only works on iOS and for the “Admin” user on Android. Is there a way on Android to set this for managed users? The “Account” section under “Settings” is not visible for managed users.

In Android once that setting is enabled for the admin, it applies to all users. So choose the admin, enable the setting, switch to desired user, done. Now, when the app is opened, it will load the last user chosen which should now be the account you wanted.
