Plex Accounts configuration

To enableStreams Manager to manage your Plex users and servers, it needs to have access to your Plex accounts. Also, before any of your users can register, at least one Plex account needs to be configured to be able to validate that an email address a user is trying to register with is an email address that is already registered on https://plex.tv.

To add a Plex account, follow these steps:

• Click on Plex Accounts in the main menu
• Plex Accounts panel will open showing already configured Plex accounts (if any)
• Click the menu button in the table header to reveal the action menu and click on Add Plex Account
• Modal dialog will show asking you for the following information:
  • Username of email - email or username for your Plex account 
  • Password - password for you Plex account. This field is not required to be saved in the system but it is highly recommended to do so. Otherwise, if your Plex token expires or gets invalidated, the system will have no way of generating a new token and all operations the system tries to perform on your Plex account or servers will fail
  • Authentication token - authentication token (Plex token) used to authorize calls to Plex. To generate the token, you can use the steps outlined in this Plex support article or type in the password in the password field and click on Fetch Token button
  • Has Plex pass - indicates whether this account has Plex pass which is needed to utilize advanced functionality such as streaming enforcement, enabling downloads, etc.
• Click Test Token button and ensure you get a success message
• Save the Plex account details by clicking the Save button
