Server Version#: 4.152.0
Player Version#: doesn’t seem to matter
I created my first Photo Library today so that my Mom and Dad can see some of our photos.
Currently I have them set up as Managed users in my account, just like my kids.
There is no option to share the photos library with Managed users. Currently the “Share all Libraries” option is checked, however when you tab over to Media, there is no option to share the photos library anywhere that I can find.
Please help….
I have to be missing this somewhere. I don’t feel like Plex would have a photo library that isn’t sharable, so everyone can see it (or not see it) with some kind of options setting.

How to share libraries can be found [here](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105738-creating-and-managing-server-shares/).
Can you try restarting Plex Media Server then trying to invite again?

It’s not an invited user. It’s managed user.
A sub user created in my account. No email or password required for this users. No invites.

My mistake, however the details are still included in the linked support article.
