Having your own watched/unwatched List and access controll.
Even though access control is mentioned in another thread here let's make it general.  
Having Multi User support for wachted List and access controll would be good :)  
I know the feature is in the Database but just not exposed. Finally having it would be the next big thing for me.

Seconded. Four users in our house and it’s the single biggest issue. The ability to have a watched status for each individual user/account would be fantastic.  
  
  
  
Many thanks.

I add my vote for multi-user support. Seems like a natural progression for an added feature to me. 🙂

+1, especially for myPlex users, and not sure if this is part of it, but to enable myPlex users (people who are watching shared libraries, not the owners of the library themselves) to pick up where they left off

+1 here. I run 1 PMS for our house, and we have 3 users running desktop clients and 1 ATV client. Would be great if they could be separated by user to make it easier to keep track of watched statuses.

If it can be developed in such a way that the [trakt.tv](http://trakt.tv) plugin could only report views for specific users that would be ideal. I don’t need the world thinking I watch all the Real Housewives series (it’s my wife, I swear).

Same boat, 3 people in the household, watching the same shows but not at the same times. Makes it very confusing for all of us.
