ShareLinks

Creates short-lived guest links for movies and episodes, then keeps the active records visible for revocation.

General

This only decides how the "Let several people use this link" box starts out in the create popup; you can change it for every link you make. A single-use link stops working the moment the first person opens it, and only that person keeps access until it expires. A multi-use link can be opened by everyone you send it to, for as long as it is valid.
How many people may watch a multi-use link at the same time. 0 means no limit. Someone arriving once the limit is reached is asked to try again later; nobody already watching is disturbed. Single-use links are always one viewer.
Used by the menu action when the admin accepts the default.
Leave empty to derive the public URL from the current request.
Tidies the guest's view only. This runs in the browser and blocks nothing, so do not rely on it to keep a guest out of anything. Use the plugin access section below for that.

Playback policy

Hides primary navigation for guest sessions in the web client. This is UX only, not the security boundary.

Plugin access for guests

Refuses guest accounts on other plugins' API endpoints, on the server. A guest holds a real Jellyfin token, so without this any installed plugin answers them directly, whatever the web client shows. Jellyfin's own API stays available: the share tag already limits it to the shared title, and playback needs it.
Tick a plugin to let guests reach it anyway. Leave everything unticked unless a plugin needs to serve guests during playback, such as an intro skipper.
