Would be great, if one could could extend the const ClientPlatform to incl. ClientPlatform.WebAdmin

&nbsp;

That way, one could restrict "channels/Apps" to show on clients, and only be avail on the WebAdmin

This is already possible :)

&nbsp;

Client.Platform = Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.

Client.Product = Web Client

Interesting, and left out in the sparse docs I found so far :-)

Can that also be used in the info.plist somehow?

Edit: And I should have known Product subclass existed, SIGH

Sort of, you can use the "PlexClientPlatforms" key and list the compatible platforms. In case of the web client you'd have to list the browser names:

```
PlexClientPlatforms
Chrome,Firefox,Safari
```
