[LDAP] More default options for new users in LDAP extension

[Mantra6475 6]

Hello,

I'm currently using the LDAP extension to manage my users. It already provides some default options that can be configured for new users provisioned by this plugin. Though some of them are missing. Those are:

• Hide this user from login screens when connected remotely
• Allow this user to change their password and profile image
• Allow camera upload (I'd like to disable this for new users)
• Hide this user from login screens on devices they've never signed into (I'd like to enable this for new users)
• Allow subtitle downloading (I'd like to disable this for new users)

I'd really love to see those checkboxes! Is the LDAP extension open-source? If so I'd like to contribute to it myself, but I couldn't find it on GitHub.

Best regards!

Hi, yes the ldap options have fallen a little behind from the other new user options and we need to get them updated. Thanks.

@Lukethanks for getting back this quickly!

Is it possible to assist with this? Eg. is the source for the LDAP Plugin open source at some location? If not, would you mind open-sourcing it so the community can contribute?

I've just got Emby Premiere a few hours ago and literally registered here to raise same topic - so, I'd really appreciate if missing (especially those Mantra mentioned) settings could be added to the LDAP extension to.

I think it needs to be done in a way where new user options don’t have to be added to the screen individually. So that will need some thought.

Something like a new tab on the users page where the default options can be configured would be awesome!

That would then apply to all users created by plugins, as long as they don't override them. And also pre-select those configurations in the New User form in the admin menu. Would love that!

It could, maybe, copy specific user settings like it is with creating users locally?

Take one specific user as template for everything. Permissions, libraries, Home screen layout e.t.c....

 Also, would be great to copy existing user settings to newly created user.

FWIW, I made a workaround by implementing a webhook and my own custom python script (which a small HTTP server to receive the webhook) to make changes. Once user is created or its policies modified, the webhook is called and the python script enforces/overwrites some settings via API. So I don't need to do it manually for like 1 user per year I might add

And then do away with the ldap defaults? Yes that could work.
