Support for non-admin Plex users? #158

Is Explo able to create playlists as a non-admin Plex user? I was planning to run separate Explo instances for a few of my Plex users (each instance would be tied to their listenbrainz user as well as their Plex user) in order to support music discovery for each of them. However, I receive Plex authentication errors when I attempted to use a non-admin username/password. Explo began to work once I used the X-Plex-Token, but this is an admin-level API key and therefore the playlists were created within the admin account.

For additional context, and to help explain why this matters to me: If you aren't familiar, Plex does not currently share playlists between users efficiently...only admin users can share playlists, and those shared playlists then show up in a separate library which makes finding them cumbersome.
