Users feature access for 'Edit Metadata/Images/Subtitles'

[melf11 8]

it would be very nice, if there can be a possibility to get users the access to edit metadata and image so the user can manage a the libraries. I would like to use it as a "content manager"-user which is like a technical engineer caring about the media content and nothing else.

btw. emby is very very nice, thanks for all of your work!

Hi.  The subtitle editing permission is already there.  The others or, rather, a role-based permission system, is a good idea for the future.

thanks for your reply! yes it would be really nice for bigger systems with a lot of users to clearly define roles and what they are allowed to.

Any idea on progress for this feature request? Specifically referencing role-based permissions for metadata editing.
I created an account just to come here and ask for this feature. It would 100% tip me in favor of immediately buying a lifetime sub, probably even up to the 45 device limit.

Honestly, I would pay for it right now with a promise that the feature would be added within the week.

Emby does pretty much everything I want out of a media server, with the exception of allowing specified users to edit file metadata. Without that, I may just need to suck it up and work through the jank involved with Ampache instead.

Hi, no progress yet but it is something that's in our plans.

Hello,

is there any update on this? 

In my case is the need of "edit Image" feature for my key users

Thanks!

Bumping to say would love to see this feature. My partner likes killing time sorting/correcting metadata on her phone but I'd like to restrict server management to a sole local Admin account if possible for security reasons.

This is a pretty essential feature for me, it's silly to now require to give users full access when about half the users on my server add their own media.
