I have shared my Plex Server which is on a Synology 224+ with 2 friends and 1 can see the server and the other can not. When I unpin everything from the side bar in the 1 account that can not see I can pull up the server however he is getting a “Not authorized - you do not have access to this server”

We have tried a new account - removed him and re-added him but still cant see anything.

I am new to this… any idea what I am doing wrong?

Specifically, other users to which the server owner has granted access to the server will not be able to connect to it while the server is running an affected version. Once the server is updated to a fixed version, other users will be able to access again. Server…
