Feature Request: Server Admin able to exclude libraries   Reason:  I share libraries for some people that I would never want to watch myself.  I.E. "Kids Movies"     I want them to be able to use the share. However, I will never watch a movie from it. I wish I could share it without having to see it in my personal list of "libraries"  (I host the Server, so by default I have to see every share) ---

I want this also, as I do the same, but I would go a step further and allow exclusion of shows/movies inside the libraries. My roommate likes so many horrible shows (I'm sure he feels the same about me), and I'd love the ability in Users, to go into those libraries, and exclude the crap from my user so I can just see my shows, I'm never gonna watch Masterchef Junior.. ---

Well you can always create a specific account for your own viewing pleasures excluding the parts you don't want (that is if you are using Plex Home) and let the main admin account just for administration purposes. ---

> Well you can always create a specific account for your own viewing pleasures excluding the parts you don't want (that is if you are using Plex Home) and let the main admin account just for administration purposes. I did that but it's not an ideal solution as depending on what app you're using you then have no on deck feature as you're then using a shared library. ---

I see the problem, but the admin has to see all that is available. What would be preferrable is to have all the devices able to see their specific deck and such which should arrive one day or another. ---

Same here: I’m experimenting with Raspberry Pi as second server (same content) and also playing with agents (same content, other agent). My search results are flooded now with same results. ---

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate/implemented (create managed user for admin’s personal use) > [@Ability to hide library from Admin account](https://forums.plex.tv/t/ability-to-hide-library-from-admin-account/98963): > > I would like the ability to hide a specific movie library(s) from my admin account.   Example: I have a movie library created for Children 2 and under. I wish not to see that library, which contains such videos, when I am logged in to my admin account on any plex client but able to view only when I am in my managed user for "Children". Perhaps only viewable in the Plex-Web browser client for editing purposes but not on say PHT or Roku, etc. What do you guys think? ---
