Server Version#: 1.23.0.4497 on Linux Mint
Player Version#: Roku, 6.7 build 26
I have Plex set up with 2 users, the primary user (my user), which has a PIN, and a Managed User for my daughter, which has no PIN. This week, I noticed on my Roku that my daughter was signed into my username. I investigated a bit, and I found that Plex on the Roku was no longer requiring a PIN when opening the app. I check out the settings and I found that “Sign in Automatically” was checked. I unchecked this and now Plex once again requires a PIN to log into my user account.
However, as I looked through the settings, I found that my daughter’s user account ALSO has access to this setting, and the setting is linked for both user names. So if my daughter enables the setting in her username it also enables it in my primary account. This is a Really Bad Design, and basically means that any time I log into my user on Roku, I need to check that setting to ensure it hasn’t been turned on, otherwise when I exit Plex anyone could just log into my username without the requisite PIN.
When I look on other Plex players (Android, Windows), the Managed User does not have access to this setting, which is how it should be. Am I missing something here? Is there any way to prevent a Managed User from having access to the “Sign in automatically” setting? Or is the PIN-based access restriction basically just crippled on Roku?
