Private User/Library

General Discussions
1

I am a Plex Pass subscriber and the Admin/Owner. I have created a second User Account called User. I have 3 Libraries called: Movies, Kids, and TV.

On Roku and Apple TV devices, the Admin/Owner password is remembered. Thus, when Plex starts up, if you click the Owner/Admin account, it takes you into that account and you can see all three libraries.

That means if one of my kids opens it, and clicks the Admin Icon instead of the User icon, they see all the libraries.

What I want is to create or designate a private Library that the Owner/Admin Account does not “see” when someone accesses that account on Roku.

Instead, I want that private library to ONLY appear in the User account. I realize that this sounds like the reverse of the way it actually works.

Basically, I want to create a password protected User that is the only user that has access to a designated private Library.

Is that possible? Any suggestions?

Thanks for the assistance.

Uncheck General > Automatically Sign In in your Roku settings.

If you’re in a Plex Home, you can use this option to have the app automatically sign in to the currently-selected user and bypass any PIN for that user.

That sort of helps, but it is not exactly what I am trying to do.
I would like to be able to create a private library that only a single User account (not the Admin) can see.

Is that possible?

the admin will always be able to access all libraries. you cannot ‘hide’ a library from the admin.

as far as restricting your ‘user’ you simply manage the user and enable only the library(ies) that you want them access to.

to keep your ‘user’ out of the ‘admin’ profile, simply uncheck the ‘automatically sign in’, AND create a PIN for the admin account.
