There’s a huge flaw in the user system of plex. In order for a user to log in, they need my email and password. The flaw is that with that information they are able to change the PIN of my main account. That is messed up! That means if I give a friend or family member a user account to login with a pin and I set certain limits on what they can access they are able to use my email and password (which I have to give them) to change my pin and access all the content on my account. Keep in mind I HAVE to give them my email and password to access their user accounts…
I think you’ve misunderstood how sharing works. Home users should really only be those in your home. It’s so that you can have multiple users in one location, on a single device, with their own activity recorded.
Anyone else should have their own Plex account and you share your Plex with them. No need to give them your password.
Think of Home users as the wife, husband and kids. You as the admin can setup local accounts on the server for the family members OR have each of them setup their own Plex.tv account. You can then add these plex.tv accounts to your managed users.
You can optionally setup a PIN on each managed user account as well.
I’d suggest taking a timeout, going to the article section and doing some reading so you understand how users work and how to setup user security and library access as well as restrictions first before letting anyone other than yourself use the system.
