Access Control Bug in 4.7.11.0 (Windows)


Recommended Posts

The Library Access Control function is not operating correctly.

If I allow access to entire library, the default setting "Enable Access to All Libraries" the user will be able to access all content. If I select specific libraries the user has no access to any of the libraries. 

Thank you for helping.

Considering a number of users (myself included) is using said function without issues, it is likely something particular to your instance. Can you show some exact examples?

I am not seeing any issue restricting a user to a specific library via Access.  Are you setting any other options like parental controls?

As explained. I have user if I try to select access to specific library the user does not see any Libraries. Only access to all libraries work. 

I have been using this for years. I added a new library that I don't want the user access to, the user doesn't see any content.

Can you provide the server log for this.

But testing is being done on an existing system.  When I get a chance, I will spin up a clean portable to see if I see a difference.

Dev will have to comment but cannot reproduce an issue on a clean install.

Hi, can you show an example of how you configured library access for a user? Thanks.

I narrowed the issue down to macOS client. If I edit the access control to the user using the macOS application the issue occurs. i.e. remove access to documentaries and music

I then log into the user and all content is gone.

Attached is a picture of removing said library content in macOS application. I then opened Safari and looked at the access control setting to that user. All library content was deselected, hence no access to entire library.

I can successfully edit the library access control to the user using the browser portal. 

MacOS = "black background"  

Browser Portal = "White background"

OK yes this will be resolved with the next update to Emby for macOS.
