How do I prevent Deletion

General Discussions

I use Plex Media Server on my windows 10 system, I allow my family to use my Plex to watch what I have saved to my server, My issue is with any Plex Media Player it gives all users the option to delete my files within the plex media player, How can I prevent any of my files from being deleted within the Plex Media Player. I have searched all over and can’t find an answer as well as can’t find an option to prevent it in my Plex Media Server. Running Plex Media Server Version 1.8.1.4139

Only when you don’t have separate user accounts for your family will this be possible.

You can disable deletion in general with
Settings - Server - ‘Show Advanced’ - Library - "Allow Deletion

@OttoKerner from what i know deletion is possible only by the server admin not also by the invited friends, is that correct ?

Correct, hence why I wrote above “Only when you don’t have separate user accounts for your family will this be possible.”

Question, I don’t know if it’s the new version or what. I am only one who uses plex and it does NOT allow me to delete the show after I watch it from my smart tv. The option to allow delete as discussed everywhere IS SELECTED. Why?
