Edit this user's profile, image and personal preferences

 

This use to work just fine but now instead of going into that particular users preferences it goes into my/admin preferences, running beta Version 3.0.5909.0 on Windows 7 64bit

It doesn't on my system if I change a setting it changes mine not the intended user

 

Ok I just rechecked that, it is showing the correct userid but it is not changing their settings it is changing mine?

 

It shouldn't make any difference but I am running the server service, not the tray icon

Yep, it doesn't appear in beta 3.0.5920.0 or dev 3.0.5929.1552 anymore.

Why would this be removed when it is the only way for an admin to modify user preferences?

 

And Disable access to user preferences doesn't seem to work either.

Some changes I made requires it to be reworked so it's better to hide it for now than to just have people continue to report issues on it

@@Luke. It's not better to hide it - disable the option with a message saying why it's disabled, I've just spent more than half an hour trying to work out how to change a users picture. As I don't know the software inside out (so don't know where the option should be) I've spent ages looking in the settings, on the user profile etc, and then after a lot of head scratching and numerous Google searches later I come across this thread.

 

Any idea when the option will be enabled again? As my daughters asked me to update her user profile picture. I presume the profile pictures are stored somewhere, can I just replace her existing picture?

 

Done it, you need to close down Ember server, then navigate to the user profile folders located in the following folder

 

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\config\users\

 

There will be various folders, just find the correct folder by looking at the poster.jpg image then simply change that image. I've no idea on what the requirements are for the image, but it worked for me - I kept the file size small at 173KB

 

Then restart Emby server for the change to take effect.

It has already been added back to dev and beta releases.

I'm currently running version 3.0.5986.0 which I updated to this morning prior to posting, but can't find an option to edit the user profile picture. Clicking the three dots on the users profile picture gives me these options, Open, Library access, Parental Control and Delete. After clicking open I can not see any options to change the user profile picture. So if it's been added back how do I change the profile picture, or even add a picture to a new user?

It's in the beta and the online web app

OK, so it's not me losing the plot, it's just not made it back to the current stable server release yet.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but I've been searching for a way to change profile pictures for my family. Old man can't read and works better with pictures.

Is this still possible to change the user profile pic? I don't want to use Emby connect though.

Yes.  When looking at a user in the admin interface, there is a link near the top to go into their settings.

Mind attaching an image?? I can't find it anywhere. Looked everywhere but still can't find it. Not sure if Linux is different than Windows.

From that image click "Edit this user's profile, image and personal preferences", then Profile.

I only have Change Password and EasyPin in there. No image.
