I deleted new Emby system user by mistake on DSM 7.0

I must grant the Emby system user at least read access to  storage locations in order to add video folders

but its deleted. I tried reinstalling emby but it was not recreated.

how to proceed??

Did you delete the Local User or the System internal user?

Emby no longer uses Local users which are okay to delete.

Make sure you use the drop down box and change to System internal user and then check if you see emby.

Thanks so much. Everything works now. I didnt realize there were internal usernames as well.

I think it's more secure because people can't login to your computer from the outside using the internal user.

Glad you got it working.
