As my list of friends that I share with grows, as well as library sections, it becomes more difficult to manage what gets shared with who. Friends and co-workers, don’t need access to everything that may share with my family. If I add a new section, as it is, I have to go through each person and s…

Ha, I thought from your topic you wanted something else. I see now what you want.

Are you creating separate Libraries for friends? Why not use the labels feature and share labels with friends. You can add a label to the shows/movies in your main TV Show and Movies libraries and then add the labels to the restrictions section of your friends accounts. See the Labels section of the…

I have librarys that I share with both friends and family, just family gets additional librarys.

I’m more of the opinion that having 15 libraries complicates it more than I would care to keep track of. I add labels to the content I want to share and assign the label to those items whether a Movie or TV Show. Hopefully your feature request will gain some traction and be implemented at some point…

I like the idea much more than the label thing… I actually find the label method a big pain-in-the-ass. Having the edit every single item that goes into your library. +1

[image] User Groups Feature Suggestions The ability to group users to grant permissions would be amazing. Currently, if I want to restrict access to a certain plex library, I have to individually remove it from each user. The same goes for adding access to a plex library.…
