I share my library to a number of remote users.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

I would like to be able to set schedules as to when some of these users can use the libraries, e.g. weekends only, no media after a certain time etc.

&nbsp;

I have a few younger users who I want to block from starting a film too late and have homework to do on weekdays.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Hopefully I'm not the only one with this requirement and others would like to see it implemented as well.

Should be part of the larger Parental Controls request.

I would also like to be able to set a schedule. I have parental controls on my router that work fine for blocking internet, but I can’t block my kids from accessing plex on the same LAN.

There is a 3rd Party Tool that many use, including myself, called PlexWatch. There is also a companion front-end for it called PlexWatch/Web. I don't know where I'd be without the two of them. It's kind of crazy Plex doesn't have those capabilities built into it yet. But the author of PlexWeb did recently become a Plex employee, so I guess there's hope yet for that native functionality to appear at some point. :)

> Hey &nbsp; First off, love Plex. Love it so much I bought a server just for it to go on and currently have around 2,000 movies and TV shows running on it. Also have Plex Pass &nbsp; I'd love to see a feature to be able to restrict access to Plex at certain time. &nbsp; My kids both have Now TV boxes,installed with Plex. I'd like to be able to stop Plex working after say 8PM on school nights, and 10PM on weekends for example. &nbsp; I have tried this with my router, but as they are not accessing the internet…
