API update user - Damien - 2023-11-16

Hi everybody,
I can't find how I can update policies by admin API key and request. Server always respond with an 400 error.
But I read the doc and I cannot find it out.
Here simple python code that fails :

import requests

ADMIN_API_KEY = 'myadminapikey'
JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL = 'myjellyfinserverurl'
JELLYFIN_USER_ID = 'ajellyfinuserid'

headers = {
"Authorization": f'MediaBrowser Token="{ADMIN_API_KEY}"',
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

data = {
'EnableAllChannels': False,
'EnableAllFolders': False,
'EnableContentDownloading': False,
'EnableLiveTvAccess': False,
'EnableLiveTvManagement': False,
'EnableSharedDeviceControl': False,
'SyncPlayAccess': None,
}

response = requests.post(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}/Policy', headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.status_code)

Thank you for your help !

Best regards

Damien

PHP Code:
import requests

ADMIN_API_KEY = 'myadminapikey'
JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL = 'http://127.0.0.1:8096'
JELLYFIN_USER_ID = 'a2b6823293f24f0d9620cc7336971e96'

data = {
    'EnableAllChannels': False,
    'EnableAllFolders': False,
    'EnableContentDownloading': False,
    'EnableLiveTvAccess': False,
    'EnableLiveTvManagement': False,
    'EnableSharedDeviceControl': False,
    'SyncPlayAccess': 'None',
}

response = requests.get(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}', headers={
    'Authorization': f'MediaBrowser Token="{ADMIN_API_KEY}"',
    'Accept': 'application/json',
})
response.raise_for_status()
data = {**response.json()['Policy'], **data}
if 'AuthenticationProviderId' not in data:
    data['AuthenticationProviderId'] = 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultAuthenticationProvider'
if 'PasswordResetProviderId' not in data:
    data['PasswordResetProviderId'] = 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultPasswordResetProvider'

response = requests.post(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}/Policy', headers={
    'Authorization': f'MediaBrowser Token="{ADMIN_API_KEY}"'
}, json=data)
response.raise_for_status() 

P.S. If the automation is what I suspect it's for, then https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415 is a worthwhile read.

RE: API update user - Damien - 2023-11-18

Thank you very much for your answer ! But it does not work.

Here new code including your solution :

import requests

API_KEY = ''
JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL = ''
JELLYFIN_USER_ID = ""
JELLYFIN_ADMIN_ID = ""
ADMIN_USERNAME = ""
ADMIN_PW = ""

def qwerty12_fix() :

data = {
'EnableAllChannels': False,
'EnableAllFolders': False,
'EnableContentDownloading': False,
'EnableLiveTvAccess': False,
'EnableLiveTvManagement': False,
'EnableSharedDeviceControl': False,
'SyncPlayAccess': 'None',
}

response = requests.get(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}', headers={
'Authorization': f'MediaBrowser Token="{API_KEY}"',
'Accept': 'application/json',
})
response.raise_for_status()
data = {**response.json()['Policy'], **data}
if 'AuthenticationProviderId' not in data:
data['AuthenticationProviderId'] = 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultAuthenticationProvider'
if 'PasswordResetProviderId' not in data:
data['PasswordResetProviderId'] = 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultPasswordResetProvider'

response = requests.post(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}/Policy', headers={
'Authorization': f'MediaBrowser Token="{API_KEY}"'
}, json=data)
response.raise_for_status()
headers = {
"Authorization": f'MediaBrowser Token="{API_KEY}"',
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

def my_fix() :

headers = {
"Authorization": f'MediaBrowser Token="{API_KEY}"',
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

data = {
"Username" : ADMIN_USERNAME,
"Pw" : ADMIN_PW
}

response = requests.post(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/AuthenticateByName', headers=headers, json=data)
TOKEN = response.json().get("AccessToken")

headers = {
"Authorization": f'MediaBrowser Token="{TOKEN}"',
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}

data = {
"Policy" :
{
'EnableAllChannels': False,
'EnableAllFolders': False,
'EnableContentDownloading': False,
'EnableLiveTvAccess': False,
'EnableLiveTvManagement': False,
'EnableSharedDeviceControl': False,
'SyncPlayAccess': None
}
}

response = requests.post(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}', headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)
print(response.reason)

so qwerty_12() raises 400 error
and my_fix() raises also 400 error

Still lost !

RE: API update user - qwerty12 - 2023-11-18

Sorry, I don't have any more ideas. What I posted does work for me locally - I try and copy the web client by getting the existing Policy values too - but the first account I tried with didn't have AuthenticationProviderId and PasswordResetProviderId set, which is needed to call /Policy from what I could tell. It's possible I've missed out more required values. Try running your script again while looking at the Jellyfin server logs - you might spot the exception the server is throwing up.

RE: API update user - Damien - 2023-11-21

Thanks for your response. Jellyfin logs said ; "System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'passwordResetProviderId')"

RE: API update user - qwerty12 - 2023-11-21

Right, so data is missing PasswordResetProviderId (and probably AuthenticationProviderId). You can extend

PHP Code:
if 'AuthenticationProviderId' not in data:
    data['AuthenticationProviderId'] = 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultAuthenticationProvider'
if 'PasswordResetProviderId' not in data:
    data['PasswordResetProviderId'] = 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultPasswordResetProvider' 

by checking for other "false" values too, like seeing if data['AuthenticationProviderId'] etc. is None, if it's an empty string once stripped and so on.

... or just unconditionally set them in data, which might be the easiest thing to do, but probably not the cleanest:

PHP Code:
data = {
    'EnableAllChannels': False,
    'EnableAllFolders': False,
    'EnableContentDownloading': False,
    'EnableLiveTvAccess': False,
    'EnableLiveTvManagement': False,
    'EnableSharedDeviceControl': False,
    'SyncPlayAccess': 'None',
    'AuthenticationProviderId': 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultAuthenticationProvider',
    'PasswordResetProviderId': 'Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultPasswordResetProvider',
} 

RE: API update user - Damien - 2023-11-21

Thanks but even if I set them unconditionally as you mentionned above, it remains 400 error with log message : "System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'passwordResetProviderId')". Weird

RE: API update user - tmsrxzar - 2023-11-21

are you hitting a case sensitivity issue?

"PasswordResetProviderId" is not "passwordResetProviderId"

RE: API update user - Damien - 2023-11-22

None of these two are working however

RE: API update user - tmsrxzar - 2023-11-22

started looking into this, not sure where you are reading documentation but i logged it in my browser's dev panel

the jellyfin web sends different parameters, specifically the headers and the auth to be more specific

edit

this code works for me

Code:
import requests

ADMIN_API_KEY = '...'

JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL = '...'

JELLYFIN_USER_ID = '...'

headers = {

    "X-Emby-Authorization": f'MediaBrowser Token="{ADMIN_API_KEY}"',

    "Content-Type": "application/json"

}

data = {"EnableContentDownloading":False,

        "AuthenticationProviderId":"Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultAuthenticationProvider",

        "PasswordResetProviderId":"Jellyfin.Server.Implementations.Users.DefaultPasswordResetProvider"}

response = requests.post(f'{JELLYFIN_SERVER_URL}/Users/{JELLYFIN_USER_ID}/Policy', headers=headers, json=data)

print(response.status_code)

where ADMIN_API_KEY is an api key generated from the dashboard -> api keys
SERVER_URL is my server
JELLYFIN_USER_ID is the user id in the address bar when viewing a user (not a username)
