Copying Profile to New User


Recommended Posts

I'm running Emby server inside of a docker container if that makes a difference.  I have the original AppUser which over the years, I've used to sign into all my devices.  It would be easy to create a new user and swap out the devices, but I would be losing the watched status of all my shows and movies.  Is there anyway to get that data over to a new user?  Essentially clone the AppData user.  Then I can just log out and log in with the new user and everything will be the same?

Thanks!

Edit -> It looks like I put this in the wrong forum.  Sorry about that!

I think I figured it out.

1.  Create new user

2.  Make sure Configuration Backup Plugin is installed

3.  Run configuration backup from Tasks

4.  Open Configuration Backup plugin, scroll down and click on the back up you just created

5. At the top, choose None to unselect all boxes.

6. Towards the bottom, check the box next to the user you want to copy data From and in the drop down choose the user you want to transfer data To

7. Click Restore and acknowledge the prompt.

That seemed to work for me.
