Luke 42077 Posted December 4, 2018 Posted December 4, 2018 It saves Connect/Guests/Invited users/userdata, it just does not restore reconnect/relink invited users. This is correct.
KOBEY 62 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Posted December 5, 2018 so if im reading correctly. even though my connect usrs r not in the usr folder of the backup. when they get re invited back to the server , all there acct settings, favs and watch history will resync?
ebr 16169 Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 No, you would probably have to manually restore their user data but you can restore any user's data into any other user.
beatter 4 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 I think the issue being described is that there's no backed up data for the connect users. At least for me, when looking in the backup folder directly and in the restore settings, I only see my local users. So, the connect user's data are not being backed up and therefore there's nothing to restore once they've been reconnected.
Luke 42077 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 You can still backup their user data, just not the actual connect associations.
beatter 4 Posted January 12, 2019 Posted January 12, 2019 You can still backup their user data, just not the actual connect associations. How is this done?
Luke 42077 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 @@beatter, in the backup plugin, click on one of your backups. Then click unselect all to de-select all restore options. Then configure the user data restore process: In this example, I'm restoring user data from a user called Luke on my old server, to a user called Luke on my new server. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks !

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks ! There is no option to restore a connect users settings and watched history because it is not backed up in the first place. I have 104 users, 103 through connect, one local account. The only account available for restore is the local account. I can restore the local account to connect users but...that's not helpful.
Luke 42077 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I apologize. We are working on improvements to Emby Connect that will make this easier in the future. Thanks.

That is great news, I just BEG you to let me make a "permission template" for any new users added, manually changing permissions for each user is tedious and leaves my whole server library at risk of deletion until I catch the person has accepted the invite and I can revoke their delete permissions. I am seriously begging you to look into this. PLEASE?!?!?!?!
Luke 42077 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 There are requests for that as well. I would suggest lending your support to them.

FrostByte 5392 Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I think he means find the thread that's already been requested and lend your support there. The more interest a request thread gets the more likely it is to be implemented Edited February 4, 2019 by FrostByte 1
cybergrimes 93 Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) What about creating a local user then adding the Emby Connect user name to that profile? As far as I can see they can then be included for mapping when restoring a backup Edited February 15, 2019 by cybergrimes
