It would be nice to see the ability to set a schedule for parental control. For example only allow an account to watch something at a specific time of day.

Also a on/off button would be nice. You could with one click stop all users from accesssing content in plex.

Here is a python [script](https://github.com/blacktwin/JBOPS/blob/master/utility/plex_api_parental_control.py) that you could use to accomplish what you’re requesting.
