So I purchased PlexPass lifetime today when I saw the MultiUser accounts and yes, I realize it still needs to be fleshed out so that is not what this is about. What I would like to see is the ability to set viewing time limits included in the Parental Controls. When my child views TV from the Roku in our living room using Plex there is no way to limit the amount of time he spends on the couch (and anyone with a teenage son will tell you - that can be a LOT of time).

&nbsp;

**Actual feature request:**

I would like the ability to switch user accounts (sign into a user account to view Plex from whichever device you are viewing from - Roku, Android, IOS, Win 8 etc) and it references a set time limit which was defined on the server so when X account (in this case Parental account for 8 hour viewing, Child account for 2 hours viewing) logs in, they are automatically logged out after the allotted amount of time.

&nbsp;

**Added feature request:**

Ability to add additional time from within the client with a PIN while watching content to reset the viewing timer.

Early 2021 clean-up:

> Hey &nbsp; First off, love Plex. Love it so much I bought a server just for it to go on and currently have around 2,000 movies and TV shows running on it. Also have Plex Pass &nbsp; I'd love to see a feature to be able to restrict access to Plex at certain time. &nbsp; My kids both have Now TV boxes,installed with Plex. I'd like to be able to stop Plex working after say 8PM on school nights, and 10PM on weekends for example. &nbsp; I have tried this with my router, but as they are not accessing the internet…

### switching users

implemented (Plex Home, Managed Users, fast user switching)
