Disable/Hide Server Deletion Option

[bwnuse 2]

On the Roku interface when Emby launches there are options to select like user accounts, manual login and delete server. I looked everywhere and cannot find a way to remove the delete server option from the screen or configure it for admin authentication before proceeding with the deletion. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong areas, but I searched the Roku menu options and in Emby settings configurations and cannot locate any sort of option to disable, hide or require authorization for the server deletion option. Is there a way to remove the delete server from the screen or at the very least away to require admin password conformation before deleting the server? It's odd that anyone can just select and delete the server, especially without any sort of admin authorization first. With younger grandchildren that use the app, it would be nice not to have the option presented to them to select and just delete the server from Roku.

I had a different message here but just realized the this is not about content deletion but about server deletion so what I said is incorrect in this content.

I do not think you can disable server deletion as it does nothing but remove it from the Roku.

Hi.  No, there is currently no option for this.  All this does is make the app/device "forget" that server information.  It can still be connected to.  I guess what you are wanting would probably be included in something like:

Yes, something along those lines. Even though it's not detrimental for the sever to be deleted, it's a pain in the rear having to reconnect it when one of the kids play with the remote and inadvertently delete the server. I figured a password or pin conformation before the server can be deleted would have been a requirement at a minimum. Hiding or disabling this option for none admin users would be better, but a password/pin conformation would at least prevent anyone from just deleting it. I appreciate the quick reply and follow up on this.

Anyone can add a server and they never "go away" on their own so anyone should also be able to delete it.  Plus, no one is logged in at the point that you are selecting (deleting) a server so there cannot be any sort of authorization requirement for it - there is nothing to authorize against..   But I get where you're coming from and the kids mode would be the ticket.
