I have been unable to add new users to my library. Please assist with this!
The error I am getting when I check the box for the library and click save:
`Request failed with status code 422`
I am running: **1.32.5.7210**

Check the number of sharees. You are only allowed to share with 100 other users.

Is there any easy way to query the API for this info?

That was the problem, too many users. Will need to clean it up.
Kinda sucks that the limit is 100 users…

This is some PowerShell I wrote to gather the User Count:
[Gather a list of Usernames and Emails for all users. (github.com)](https://gist.github.com/blakedrumm/025596724dd125e92979a53ccac3d1c9)
Hope this helps someone! 🤓

I too am getting the 422 code and I only have 4 shared friends. What do I need to do to fix?? My Plex is up to date on updates.

Same problem.
Only 15 users including me.
The last successful user was added about a year ago 🤔
Introduced bug?
I think there are enough reports of this problem now (that are not exceeding user limits) to warrant some attention from Plex developers. Please help. 🙏
