binerf 2 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hi all, I'm using Emby to share library to family but I was surprised when I discovered that a user can sync any file from its authorized libraries to any device previosuly connected to Emby even if this user has never logged this device (even if this device belongs to another guy). How is it possible to limit devices to user's devices only that Emby admin has no knowledge of ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Users are able to sync to all devices they have permission for based on device access settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binerf 2 Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) Got it but by default, users are able to sync to all devices previously connected, even devices which belong to other users...

Luke 37010 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 It's something that needs review in a future update. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binerf 2 Posted April 19, 2019 Author Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hello, Is this issue part of future release ? I'm still worried that someone will sync data to other device and fill up device space.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binerf 2 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Hi @Luke, I'm coming back regarding this request. Any update since your last reply ? Looks like that users are still able to sync data to other's equipment.... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neik 835 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Workaround: Limit each user to his device then they won't be able to sync to others anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binerf 2 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 Thanks @neik for your suggestion. Lots of equipment used by users are "Firefox" (seems equipment is based on IP ?) so impossible to limit these users to "known" equipments only...

Under devices you can see which Firefox belongs to which user and you can give them custom device names to identify them more easily. It might be a bit of work depending on the amount of users but it is feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all of his "firefox" devices look the same ("Firefox Emby Web 4.5.4.11" for instance). If I keep the last Firefox "device", I suppose I'll block this user for the next connexion...
