overseerr: Error checking user access: This user does not exist on the main Plex account's shared list
Description
I had a Plex server set up with user access. I changed the server and set up a new server. I gave access to this new server to users who already had access to the old server and to new users who only had access to this new server.
Overseerr I set it up with only the new server and when I import users from Plex (or when they try to log in) I only get the users that had access to the old server, the new users do not appear in the list and I get the following error:
Error checking user access: This user does not exist on the main Plex account's shared list
I tried the answers in issue #3068 but it doesn’t work.
Version
1.33.0
Steps to Reproduce
- I click on Users.
- I click on “import Plex Users”.
- Only the users that had access to the old server that no longer exists are listed.
- The logs show the above error, one for each user.

just tested that out, and it works.
Confirming that it’s still an issue in 1.33.2
U can confirm the issue is still present on my server as well
Issue is still there. Please fix
🎉 This issue has been resolved in version 1.33.1 🎉

Your semantic-release bot 📦🚀
Kinda having the same issue. On a brand new Overseerr setup without any user yet, I am getting the “There are no Plex users to import” when trying to import from Plex (2 users with access to librairies inside my server). Hope the fix can solve my issue as well 😃
Thanks for digging into it @scorp200 @JonnyWong16
I think this is related to plex friends being an optional thing now, with being able to invite users without adding them as friends. No one I invite whether friend or not will show up in Overseerr.
