I expect a lot of people use plex as their media client for the whole family. Now seeing as Plex is able to display the age restriction for a film, it might be usefull if Plex could be sett to require a password for content that is rated at a certain age. So, for example, you could set it so that playback of all files rated 18 require the user to set a password. This would allow people to let their kids browse the collection, but without letting them watch, for example horror movies if they don’t have the necesarry 4-digit password.
I would 2nd this one - this is important to those of us with families.
I was searching to see if this is already an option. Would love to see this as a new feature, or perhaps profiles based on tagging? Kids profile would only see family tagged content.
OP… Yes… That would be the best option. I would even take having a setting to hide everything greater then what ever you set > pg or > pg-13. Then manually change the rating for some of the movies that are borderline. The only way to even show the movie in the list to select it, is to put the code in. Then it will list everything.
Or, just have it prompt for the code when the movie over a the desired level is selected.
I was just looking for this as well. I’ve been using a Roku for my tons of Disney and other kids movies. I too would like to be able to lock down a player to G, PG-13, or whatever for my kids. They’re a bit young and don’t need to watch horror or violent action movies quite yet.
The easier option would be to block access to sections. Have one for adults and one for kids. On the main device open the main movies with a passcode and allow all to the kids movies. If there are “adult” movies those need a really good password =)
Hi All,
I too have looked at this and found a few other posts from people wanting this feature. I do think it would be an amazing feature to not only be able to set an automatic age allowance (no need for pin if movie is rated less than PG for example) and a movie by move pin option that way you could also pin protect home movies. Someone also mentioned that it would be amazing if plex didnt even display any of the movie info of overaged movies if the pin hadnt been entered.
As im sure everyone will agree though plex is a great app and there are just a few more things which would make it a total killer. Does anyone know of a detailed Roadmap for plex or a good source for giving feature requests? Even so to all the devs please keep up the great work, you are what make the world great 
Another one waiting for a age content restriction option I got cartoons on my media collection and Adult movies too so I cant let my kids brownsig it on their own.
+1 !
I would really like to see this as well, I think the argument was that it is difficult because the clients would all need to be updated… However I was thinking this could be implemented with virtual folders so all clients even DLNA would work…
When you entered a restricted library it could show you folders 0-9, as soon as you enter one folder it does the same in a loop… If you get the sequence correct the library or video unlocks for a period of time then re-locks after inactivity. If you go too many folders deep with the wrong answer it just sends you back to the index.
Yes there should be a age restriction to the settings when sharing.
Agreed, being able to set up age restriction for certain clients would be super useful for our family.
+1. My wife and I were just discussing this last night.

+2 :rolleyes: wife has quite a strict opinion about this.
Its been on our minds since we installed Plex.
Plex makes it so easy to share media that now we have 8 devices that can show content and can not be supervised easily.
Internet is locked by Untagle, but Intranet is open, so web browsers are also access points to Plex content in addition to tablets, TVs and phones.
I hope we see this soon. At the moment I am thinking the not so elegant or flexible solution of 2 Plex installations.

I have 2 young kids that love watching Plex on the tablet. It would be nice to be able to restrict some content, requiring a password to watch/show some of the moves
Just wondering if there has been any response or thoughts from the developers on this?
Enhancement Request: We would like to see an option to put a password or pin on a library. We watch Plex through our Roku and tablets. I'd like to be able to put our adult content in a password / pin protected library so the kids can not access it through Roku or any of their tablet devices. I know this still leave security work to be done of the server side file system, but we can handle that without an enhancement from Plex. LOVE YOUR PRODUCT. Keep up the good work.
Hi all.
Any update about restriction options for some contents? I guess that there is solutions “mast have”.
