for anyone managing more than a handful of users.

Hi.  The vast majority of our users are only handling a handful of users.  So, while this type of setup (what you really want is permission roles, not necessarily user groups) is fundamental to large scale server environments, it isn't as critical for a home media server you use just for your family.

This is the reason this hasn't made it to the top of our list yet.  I'm sure it will someday, though.

Hello,

Just a message to support. I use Emby as targeted, family scope only but it starts to be around 20 users; even at this scale, repeating the same clicks when I create a user (remove permissions to delete and manage library I let him see) is boring.

Recently I added a personal photos library so it's for my wife and I; it was needed to go on all other users profile to uncheck "access to all libraries" and then uncheck the new one from the list.

Even if it's not group management, but I think that like me most of the users have more users than libraries, so a permission rule set library-based would be much better than user-based. Eg I prefer to uncheck 20 checkbox in the new library parameters (25 clicks) than uncheck 1 box in 20 users profiles (100 clicks).

+1. This FR could also tie in with another FR I had requested: 

If there were user groups and settings could be managed for all users within that group, it would nullify my request I guess.

@Luke any ETA on this now 8 year old request to have user groups for all users settings, so when  you add a user you don't have to click through and change all the settings every single time ?  I would think 8 years is enough time?

Hi, not yet, sorry.

Bumping this as a sign of support. Just to add, even adding a new library to 5 years can be a pain in the rear. Or other config changes.
