Hi!
I have a Plex account and I share my Libraries with my friend
My friend has an account and would like to create 2 users on his account so his wife could watch her own series
But when he creates an another user on his account, the librarie I share with him disappears and his wife can’t have access to it
What can I do ?
Thank you
Your friend has probably created a “managed user” account for his wife.
However, managed users don’t get access to any other servers than their “owner’s” one.
If they both shall have access to your server, they must both use “full” plex.tv accounts.
But if they do that, they face another issue: if not at least one of them has a Plex Pass, they cannot use Fast User Switching to quickly change the user account on a shared playback device (e.g. the TV in the living room).
Thank you so much for answering me !
Yes, you’re right, if they both have an account i’ll be very anoying for them to change everytime they want to watch their series.
It could be a nice idea to let us share our librarie with « friend’s users »
I suppose that might be convenient for some but it’ll also mean everybody will be able to share and re-share your media and finally complete strangers accessing your server. It seems to me, this will also move Plex beyond any grey area of file sharing, so I guess it’s very unlikely this is ever going to happen.
That being said… there’s existing feature suggestions asking to allow sharing with an entire Plex Home or members of a Plex Home automatically getting access to what’s shared with the Plex Home admin.
