Hi i have 2 Users Mine protected by PIN and Kids Thats Open, I have Added a folder into My Library “Home Videos” but i want to be able to Stop People from Accessing that Folder if in my Library. So i put some videos of my Nan and family in the folder but when away from home i can still see the folder and its contents. Ok i have to put in my PIN to see my library but I need to be able To either Password or PIN the folder Home Videos. Why is this Not Available?? I have seen other peoples posts on forums etc but thats concerning Porn That’s not what i want to hide i have some Personal Family videos of the past 30 wish years and want to add them but i don’t want say my cousin to see them when she baby sits or anyone on say my iPad etc!?
Because Plex works on user level security and not folder level.
You should have an account for everyone and just give them access to to libraries you want them to have access to. So don’t let people your your account and the problem should be solved

ok so how do I give access to someone but for only specific library ?
For this to work, you need to actually have several libraries. Obvious, yes but I’m including this anyway, just in case.
Settings - Users - Friends - then use the small ‘Pencil’ icon to edit the share with that particular friend
disable ‘All libraries’
then you can enable sharing on a per-library basis
Logging out of the family room TV and back in isn’t very user friendly. It doesn’t pass the “Wife Acceptance Test” in my house. I know, I know. Low bar and everything. A password/pin protected library to private content or for specific rating level would be helpful.
I have an Apple TV where anyone has access to its content on Plex but I want to prevent access to a couple of folders with private content. I don’t want to have to switch between accounts every time you open Plex app. I just want to protect some content that only I or someone I assign who has a specific password to be able to access those folders. Is this possible?

All you need to do after you have used the ATV yourself is to switch back to this user (using no PIN - a PIN is only needed to switch to your own level of access.)
Obvious, yes but I’m including this anyway, just in case.
