Unable to run PlexMediaServer after updating Synology DSM to version 7.1.1

Do not touch permissions for the /PlexMediaServer shared folder. Altering those permissions can cause problems. If you altered permissions, see FAQ 32: Repairing the PlexMediaServer shared folder.

Plex needs at least read only permission to the media files. However, that has nothing to do with claiming the server. See FAQ 29 - DSM 7 - Give PlexMediaServer access to your media.
