Limit Plex access to NAS folders

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Hi all,

I am running Plex 1.15.4.993 on my Synology DS218+ and it is working quite good. The problem I am experiencing is that Plex seems to have access on all(!) folders on my NAS (when I am choosing the Media folder I can see it does).

While installing plex server in the DSM it creates a plex user which does not have global access rights, but only rights to the plex server itself and the media folder (which are the access rights I do want to grant). However, there is no way to “log in” to the plex server with that user or tell the plex server to use this user to access the NAS folders. Apparently, it uses my admin account which then has access to all folders.

How can I limit the access rights of the plex server so that it only has access to the plex and media folder?

Thanks a lot in advance!
