The discover features/function is not available for managed users on your account, if that’s what you are referring to. A workaround is to create separate plex accounts for each user and then add them to your Plex Home.

There’s a feature request to enable the functionality: [Add Discover to managed users](https://forums.plex.tv/t/add-discover-to-managed-users/794138)
