Hi, I’ve got 15 Appletv’s connected to my plex account.
Originally, I had all signed in as the principal account but every device sees the other devices activity. So I’ve created separate plex accounts and invited them to access the main server of content. I like that format/setup except for the fact that every device has the ability to move from one account to another. (Under users all the users show up including the master account). I’m sure there’s a way to avoid this but I’m not sure how to proceed. Any help would be great. Thank you!
You can add a PIN to each account.
User PINs
Adding a PIN to a user means that when using Fast User Switching, you’ll be prompted to enter the selected PIN when switching to that user. For instance, parents might choose to set a PIN on their account so that their child can’t simply switch to the parent account.

Is there a way that each device only sees one account i.e.- an invited user account and not a list of all the accounts?
but when I give my friend the info to login, it automatically logs into the master account, instead of asking him to pick a user, but if he logs out then back in, then it will show the users page. how can i make it so when they log in the first time it doesn’t log into my master account? i have my master user with a pin and 5 other users with pins plus the guest enabled.

Don’t invite them to your Plex Home, just send them a regular invite.

After the user logins in the first time you can then set the automatically login setting on, that way it will always start with that user logged in.
Awesome. Thank you!
