Problem of access to a folder on Plex

an exclusion is a restriction. if you exclude something from a user then they cannot view folders

The reason is this. Say you label some the movie Nymphomaniac with the a label “AdultOnly” to y hide it from a child’s account but they had access to rest of library. then even though they could not see the actual video they could see the title of the folder which could be some overtly sexual title like Nymphomaniac or worse… This is why folders are hidden when there are any restrictions
