Server Version#: 1.112.0.359-0d79a49f Player Version#: Unknown I’m trying to create a Home under Plex but my server is only recognising my admin account.

[IMG_2241] According to this found in other post from last year this is something known to happen with the version of Plex server I have running. Little information online and nothing in the way of communication around this. So will attempt upgrade of server and validate if finally working after

A managed user is not a real account Logon as your self, and then within the player you can switch user to the desired managed user

Tried to do that by logging out of all devices, restarting server, disabling and enabling Remote Access for server. If there is another way to do this then please advise and I will try that. Remote Access specifies the server is “Fully accessible outside your network”

Sometimes with content restrictions, sometimes with no restrictions as libraries that choosing to share contain only child-friendly media. So far nothing is working so will look to obtain server logs EDI…

Heh, I was just about to say that the version you are running was released over an year ago :rofl:

Yep, after an update the managed users are now working :grin:
