I have shared my plex server with a bunch of friends. These friends do not have local media of their own (no local PMS), they just watch what I have. These friends would love to have managed accounts for their kids or spouses, etc. I could setup all the managed users, which is not an issue. But…

I would agree. Or allow the primary account to allow/disallow managed users to see shared libraries. That way I could tell my friends to get their own Plex account and they could manage their kids from within the web client.
