 +===== Folder / Playlist Security =====
 +
 +Folder / Playlist security lets you configure your folders and playlists in your Mezzmo library so that specific DLNA devices or users will only be able to view only those folders and playlists that you permit them to.  ​
 +
 +**Example:​** You may want to configure your Mezzmo library so that only those suitable (non-adult) folders and playlists are available to your children'​s Xbox One or PS4 in their bedroom. ​ This will mean that your children will never be able to browse and play media files from your Mezzmo library that you deem unsuitable to them.
 +
 +To set folder or playlist sharing permissions,​ right-click on a folder or playlist in Mezzmo and click **Playlist Sharing Permissions** to display the **Playlist Sharing Permissions dialog**. ​ This dialog will let you choose the devices or users that you wish to allow or deny access.
