Hi All! New to plex and loving it so far. I am running a single plex server under a plex pass. We have live TV working however,I read that only the admin can schedule recordings. Two questions. 1) Is there a featured planned that would allow admins to give certain managed users the ability to record…

Add my vote to wanting this functionality, trying to replace SageTV with Plex but I also don’t want to be the only user who can schedule recordings

Ok, so this will be my first post. :slight_smile: I too just got Plex Pass to evaluate for Live TV + DVR functionality for a possible switch from Emby + Tvheadend + Kodi, and this limitation is frustrating to say the least.

Possible to give managed users access to record live TV?
