create a new user with emby api

[slove 0]

"I want to use the Emby API to create a new user and copy configurations from a specified user. Does the official API support this?"

[hthgihwaymonk 21]

you'll want to look at the `emby/Users/New` endpoint and in the payload include at least -
 

"CopyFromUserId": "{specified user}",
"UserCopyOptions": [
"UserPolicy"
]

Thank you very much for your response. I know how to create users, open-source specified copying of specified user policies, but there is no copying of user configurations.

[hthgihwaymonk 21]

what type of configurations are you wanting to copy ?

I will guess the example is just not showing you both options.  So add "UserConfiguration"

Enum UserCopyOptions (emby.media)

{

  "UserCopyOptions": [
    "UserPolicy"
  ],[
    "UserConfiguration"
  ]
}

I don't know what the format of UserConfiguration is.

So use the UI and look at the post call it pretty much tells you what you need to do:

 

{
  "Name": "string",
  "CopyFromUserId": "string",
  "UserCopyOptions": [
    "UserPolicy", "UserConfiguration"
  ]
}

I just tested this

{
  "Name": "NEW",
  "CopyFromUserId": "{myuserid}",
  "UserCopyOptions": [
    "UserConfiguration",
    "UserPolicy"
  ]
}

}This error message translates to: "Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx)."

Is there a reason you are on what I believe is an obsolete beta version?

Hi, have you updated to the latest build?

There is a question, create a new user, copy the user policy and configuration from the specified user, what is the minimum version supported, what is the format？

{
  "Name": "NEW",
  "CopyFromUserId": "d6394c9ad8b14e77b458bff6df92176c",
  "UserCopyOptions": [
    "UserConfiguration",
    "UserPolicy"
  ]
} or

{
  "Name": "NEW",
  "CopyFromUserId": "d6394c9ad8-b14e-77b4-58bf-f6df92176c",
  "UserCopyOptions": [
    "UserConfiguration",
    "UserPolicy"
  ]
}

 

Which is correct

[Happy2Play 8290]

Did you update to current release/current beta?  Or are you still on old beta 4.8.0.56?

But I would say what does the userid look like via the api when you query that user?

My server is Arm64 (aarch64), I chose docker and installed the version is 4.8.0.56, not sure the latest version supports arm64, so, I didn't upgrade

That was added during 4.7 development. I don't remember exactly which 4.7.X version it was. Probably around 4.7.9.
