Issues with notifications on things the user has no rights to

[HawkXP71 139]

I've been setting up notifications, and I noticed a couple of issues when a user goes to setup a notification

• It seems all users get the same access to notifications.  If they are not admins, I dont want them getting server, or playback, or plugins etc.  Ie non "user level" notifications
  • I realize every admin will 100% want to set this up on their own in their own way. But it should be smart.  If they user doesnt have access to Live TV, they shouldnt ever be allowed to get a Live TV notification.
• Library notifications on libraries they dont have access too.
  • I have some libraries that are private for family only, no one but people who have access to the library should get an email that media was added to it.

Hi, the options dialog might lead you to believe this, but they won't receive any notifications for things that they should not.

I figured as much, but it gives them the impression its "broken" because the notification doesnt work.

Hi, what makes you think the notification doesn’t work? The notification works just fine.

If a user doesnt have permission or elevation level for a notification , and they turn on that notification. They will never receive it, thinking that the notification is broken.

Or in their minds the event will have never occurred ?

Yes.  It was just confusing for one of my users.

I had told him about "new media notifications" and I didnt realize the system showed all notifications to all users.  He had selected something under server, I think it was Server Startup.  

He asked if its been running for 2 or 3 weeks (since he added it) I said no, since I had just installed a new plugin.

He said there must be something broken in the notifications, because the test worked but not the notification.  Thats when I learned he could see more than just "new media added" and other library options.

It was a 5 second explanation, he just thought something was broke
