I would like to be able to mange users and authentication via my Active Directory. For example, authorize a user by adding their AD account to a group, or even being able to upload a list of AD accounts, and auth off of them. ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate > [@Feature Request: LDAP Authentication (optional local authentication)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-ldap-authentication-optional-local-authentication/43284): > > An option to use local authentication (i.e. LDAP or local users) would be ideal for those wanting to provide remote access to friends/family without providing remote access to plex admins (this is disclosed in the myplex description). Some folks simply want more control over remote access without granting ultimate access to unknown people. A separate landing page for LDAP user login would be cool. Leveraging existing systems that provide user authentication would reduce needed code overhead. ---
