Hide settings

Hi,

 

I really don't understand why I can't create a guest user with absolutely no access to changing the profile.

 

I often have people AND curious KIDS !!! staying with me and we don't have TVs in guestrooms. It would just be so easy if this would be possible. I understand its possible with removing it from the browser with CSS ... come on, its the age of phones and tablets and apps.

 

Besides that, I think its so much cooler than PLEX

 

Kind regards Peter

Hi, it's possible for the future. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi,

 

Without knowing how the back of the software is functioning, tablets are often the structure, working with true and false (or similar).

 

Couldn't it for an easier soft opening look like the user is changing stuff, even looking like its saving it. But in the reality, nothing is saved, since the saving is getting a 'false'. I know its not ideal and the full solution, but sometimes less is way enough.

 

Kind regards Peter

No, because that will only bring us more troubleshooting with complaints of "not working".

User policy.xml edit as setting no longer available via UI. Ability to block per user manually from these changes (user icon and password). 

<EnableUserPreferenceAccess>false</EnableUserPreferenceAccess>Restart server after change.

 

I didn't. Thanks for guiding me. Is this also removing it from the app's? Could you guide me a tiny bit how to use it?

Only tested in web client.  You can see the userid in the url when clicking on a user in Dashboard-Users.  Go to the users id folder "\Emby-Server\programdata\config\users" and look at the policy.xml.

Hide "App Settings" from any user who is not considered an Admin. My kids will definitely mess it up...

User setting have nothing to do with being admin though.  But there is currently no way to block users from adjusting their user preferences.

They should...but thanks for the quick replies. Back to the drawing board on Plex alternatives
