Plex Pass sharing with android son's android device

Server Version#: Version 1.18.3.2156
Player Version#: latest android app

I purchased the plex pass believing it would allow me to share my media and server with my family on their android devices.

My son has downloaded the plex app on his android device but when he tries to play my movies it ask him to sign in with a plex pass account or make a purchase.

I thought my purchasing the pass would allow them to use their own free plex app to watch my movies.

Does everyone in the family now have to make a separate purchase for plex pass or can I share my movies on android devices with out them making a separate purchase?

If so how do I share so they can watch my movies on their android devices?

Seems to me, if they sign in with my plex pass account they would have admin privileges and only one person would be able to watch movies at a time?

You only need to add your son to your Plex Home.
Go to https://app.plex.tv/desktop#!/settings/users-sharing

Your son’s account should already be listed under FRIENDS
Click on it.
On the right edge of the screen is a ‘House’ icon with a Plus sign on it grafik
click on it and invite your son into your Home.

Your son needs to confirm the invitation, just like he did when you invited his account to be your Plex Friend.

Keep in mind that adding him into your Plex Home will also enable you both to use ‘Switch User’ to change into each other’s account. You will need to set a PIN on your account if you don’t want that.
