gone4wd@gmail.com 0 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 Can't get to the server menu. I just updated to 4.3.0.30 and that didn't fix it. I'm running on the local LAN if that matters.
Sammy 790 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 What do you mean, "Can't get to the server menu"? What are you seeing? Maybe you need to kill embyserver.exe and embytray.exe from the process list and re-load the server from Start>Programs.
Luke 42077 Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 What happens when you try to get to the server menu?
gone4wd@gmail.com 0 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 there is no server menu on the sidebar menu. That's my problem. It's not even in the sidebar
ebr 16169 Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Hi. Are you logged in as a user with Admin rights?
gone4wd@gmail.com 0 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 yes, I am the only user. Somehow my admin rights got lost. How can I restore them or create a new admin user?
Happy2Play 9780 Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 That doesn't make any since as Emby has to have at least one user assigned as admin at all times, otherwise you could never be able to administer the server. But you can look at your users policy.xml. "\Emby-Server\programdata\config\users\"
ebr 16169 Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 We have had a few reports of that switch getting reset somehow. If you find that it was reset for you, please report back all of the plug-ins that you have installed and any 3rd party utilities you may use. Thanks.
gone4wd@gmail.com 0 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Posted December 15, 2019 Yes, IsAdmin was set to false on my account.
Luke 42077 Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. @@Happy2Play are you able to create this situation?
Happy2Play 9780 Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 Thanks for the feedback. @@Happy2Play are you able to create this situation? No I can't manually change this to false and start Emby and it remain false in a single user environment. And Emby throws a error if you try to set it in the user settings with Emby running. System.ArgumentException: System.ArgumentException: There must be at least one user in the system with administrative access.
Luke 42077 Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Hmm, so the UI won't let you create this situation. Perhaps the backup plugin, if you restore users and all of the ones you restore are non-admin. Or if you restore a non-admin user policy on top of an existing admin user, thus causing admin rights to get lost.
