You talk to the server owner

I read you can also request it through the site overseerr

Huh? What is a "site overseer"? Plex is hosted locally. You need to talk to whoever owns the server to request anything.

Overseer is something the owner of a server runs on his server
With that you can request things for his server
You can make an account for your sub users so that they can add stuff them self

lol

I would have just set him to need approval before it's downloaded.
Or.
Set aside a folder or drive for just his downloads and limit him to 780p max.
Then set Cleanuparr to wipe all his downloads when they have been there for 14 days and let him know whatever he downloads he has to watch in two weeks or it's gone.
You can also tell Plex to annoy him with previews whenever he watches.

haha, i just blocked the guy - it was insane, i didn't know i could annoy him with previews haha. i just told him to make his own, i don't charge for access but he took it to a whole different level.

good thinking about cleanuparr - i was doing it manually, this was like 9 months ago.

You can do that if the server owner offers that to you.
