Option for server owners to allow other plex users managed profiles to access their server

Now I know this is not a feature, but it should be. Can we get an option for server owners to opt into that reads like “Allow external managed users access to this server if their home admin has access.” or something worded similar. What this would do is (by default be off) allow server owners to opt in to allowing users they share with to have their own managed users that have access to their server.

*If needed once the option is enabled it could also require that each shared user has to manually enable allowing managed users access to external libraries that are shared with them.

Example: Server Admin shares with friends A & B. User B has 3 family members that would like access. User B asks the admin to enable this feature which the admin does knowing that this will allow all managed users of their shared users access to their server. User B then creates 3 managed users for their spouse and 2 children.

Also I know there are a few other posts with this request but seeing as they are 3-4 years old and also with the inclusion of both server admin and shared users both having to enable the feature I believe it was best to create a new post. If i was wrong I and the older posts are still being considered please let me know which one to move my vote to and post this as an addendum to that feature request.

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
