Have an "Admin Notes" section under each user account

Hi,

 

Could we possibly have a small notes section under each user account - that only an admin can see? Just a few lines of text so we could add the person's password, email address etc.

 

I think it was would be particularly helpful for those that have many users accounts on their emby server for friends, guests etc.

 

Thanks,

Yes, I would like that too!

Necroing this request as I'd like to see this too. I use my Emby server for networking and I have so many users now, I can't remember who these people are, where they work at, or how I met them.  Having the internal notes field for each user would solve this for me.

 

Thank you!

If the admins don't implement this natively, I could try to create a plugin for it – here are some AI-generated mockups of what I think it could look like.

A plug-in could be handy!

Adding editable text with possbile links to the Emby dbase is a security risk, opens up the server to possible hacking,  requires a more complex text editor and potentially can bog down and slow the overall database speed that could eventually cause issues to media processing. Users will probably want extra link options and have further support questions which uses up support time. It sounds easy to add, but to do it properly, is complex and takes more development time than you think, to do it safely and right.  I think creating a user text note area with link and image options is not good practice.  Even if it was offered, it would probably be limited to text only with no active links or images and not be searchable.  I don't think it's worth this effort and is a bad design choice.  I vote against it. Sorry...

Why not just export the users name and create a document or spread sheet and run it separately?  You can add all the links and images you want.  In addition, searching for any text or name works immediately in both programs and even if you just used an advance text editor.  You could have 2000 users and search for New York and find all users with New York in their info easily. Word editors and spreadsheets can do this all much better and faster and it would not slow down the media server, no matter how much information, photos you added.  New emby users means you have to also add them into your word doc or spreadsheet.  It's an extra step, yes, but you get far more features and search options.
