I think there should be an option for multiple screens in the user settings.For example, João has a limit of 2 simultaneous screens.Maria, 3 screens…Because I have cousins for whom I have to create 2 accounts for them and one for their child.Or we could register one account linked to theirs as a sub-account and authorize access.They would just switch the account and the sub-account linked to their account would appear on the screen.I had to create 4 accounts for my aunt, one for her, my uncle another one, and for my cousins.My account has a limit of 1 user per account. If it were possible to select the quantity for each account, it would be better since not everyone uses just one screen.
I don’t understand what you mean by this. You can have upto 15 users if you are using plex home.
Plex doesn’t have a limit for the number of devices/screens a user can have their account on.
Let me explain. I gave my cousin a Plex account, but his account is open to all content while my nephew’s account is only for kids. I had to create two accounts; he needs to log out to access my nephew’s account in the living room. Could you add the option to have an account as a dependent under the same invitation and just switch the user on the user switch screen? And in the same place, show the number of screens per user: João 2 screens, José 1 screen. This way it would be better for user control.
If your cousin has a Plex pass, they can invite regular Plex user accounts (like their kids) into their own Plex Home. This will enable Fast User Switching.

The way plex works you have to specifically share with a user. There isn’t a method to allow your cousin to share with their own kids. There is a feature request to allow this but plex has mentioned it is not something they will likely implement. So you will need those 2 accounts no matter what.
As Ottokerner mentioned, your cousin could get a plex pass which would allow them to add other plex accounts to plex home and use the user switching feature.
