Playlist/Folder Sharing Permissions

Mezzmo lets you control the security access to playlists and folders in your Mezzmo library. You can permit or deny access to any of your playlists and folder when devices or users connect to your Mezzmo library using your Mezzmo media server.

This can be useful when you wish to limit what folders or playlists that a device in your home can access. For example, you may want to not let the computer or games console in your children's bedroom to access certain folders or playlists that you have in your Mezzmo library.
