Deleting collection items allowed to all users - I don't want to!

[Kopix 6]

I have current emby server Version 4.8.3.0 with active Emby Premiere.
The user can remove items directly from the collections, even if I lock the collection. I don't know how to prevent it, and I haven't found anything.
Perhaps only here
https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/25652-users-can-edit-collections-regardless-of-their-user-rights/
something like that was dealt with.
Thank you very much in advance for the advice, because it is unacceptable for me that anyone (except the admin) can delete items in the collection.

They need to tie the delete collection permission to the remove from collection also, claims it was fixed in 4.6, but clearly not lol....  Oddly enough a user cant "add to collection"

Hi, the ability to edit collections is based on admin status on the server. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

(Beta 4.9.0.12)
Remove from collection item pop-up list does happen for non-admin user. 
Perhaps in baseitemcontroller.js maybe missing some 'if' function parameter to designate admin only somewhere around...
 

BaseItemController.prototype.canRemoveFromCollection=function...

agreed,  on 4.8.3.0, the option to remove collection is there as well for non-admin users.

Ha ha just removed a movie from a collection, with a non admin user.

But can't add it back to collection with the same user.

Yes, Remove from Collection needs removed from non-admin User context menus.

Es cierto
 cualquier usuario sin permiso de administrador puede eliminar todos los elementos de la colección

It's true,
any user without admin permission can delete all items in the collection

This is not new as Emby's Collection design has always been this way.  But yes there is room for improvement removing it from Users.

Sort of needs to be the same as Playlists but Collections are usually more defined by metadata provider not users in most cases.

so you're saying collections have been broken since its inception

Matter of perceptions.  But my users know if they mess with the media they lose access.

Hi, no, we're not saying that.

[Happy2Play 9780]

Just like it is a matter of preference that a user should or should not be able to create their own Collections.

so does emby consider it a feature or a bug?
that non-admin users can remove items from a collection

Previously when everyone could add to collections, people were generally happy with it. Nobody called it broken. There were some occasional requests for admin level control over it, but that's about it.

Ok, but currently, the creation of collections is limited to an admin user, correct ?
So is the ability to remove items by non-admin users just a leftover function from the past and it's not considered a bug?
It would be good to know if emby considers it a bug or a feature, as if it's a feature then I guess a feature request needs to be created to get it changed.
But if it's considered a bug, then hopefully it's on a big fix list somewhere inside emby already.

Yes now it's limited to admins and so that option needs to be hidden.

In what version of Emby is it limited only to administrators?

To switch to that version

It was broken….  Who would want global collections, that seems to be same idea as the horrible global playlist. 
 

Anything global should be admin only. Not sure why anyone would say otherwise unless they don’t use the feature which most don’t or don’t have multi/remote users.

I need this to be resolved. Is anyone working on a fix?

[visproduction 315]

It appears fixed in beta.

[Happy2Play 9780]

It users are still seeing an issue we need to know server version number as users do not have this ability in current 4.8.0.10 or 4.9.0.30 releases only admins do. 

But do not know what exact versions the options were ported in.

[Carlo 4561]
