Missing Administration in UI - Geejay71 - 2023-11-24
Hello,
For some reason, the Administration settings are missing on my Windows 10 browser. They were there the last time I logged in. I tried Chrome (+ Incognito Mode). Firefox and Edge.
The only things I'm seeing are Media and User. I'm running version 10.8.12. I've already rebooted the host which is Ubuntu on a Proxmox server.
I also have another instance of Jellyfin running on a totally different server which was showing me the Administration settings until I logged out and back in.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does someone else have access to the server? Did they remove your admin access?
RE: Missing Administration in UI - Geejay71 - 2023-11-25
Hi there. No one else has access. I've had this happen before and I was able to regain the Admin settings by closing an reopening Chrome. I thought it was a glitch so I didn't think too much of it.

Can you share your logs with us? Upload them to sourcebin and link back here.

As bizarre as it might be, I think the issue is tied to the Proxmox servers. I installed Jellyfin on a new Container and the Administration section is also missing. I just remembered that I ran an update on both Proxmox servers. I'm going to see if there's a way to go back to the previous version.
RE: Missing Administration in UI - Geejay71 - 2023-11-25
I logged into the new Jellyfin installation and the Administration section showed up.
It's also found when I click on my account name on the top right corner. I never noticed it being there before.
For the other 2 instances, how would I retrieve the logs if I can't see the Dashboard?

I was able to fix the issue. Somehow the account rights were changed.
I repaired the permissions on the jellyfin.db file and can now see the admin settings.

Hi there,
I have the same issue and found indeed the following /var/lib/jellyfin/data/jellyfin.db file.
It has rw for user jellyfin only so 644
I changed it to rw.rw.... or 664 and restarted unfortunately no change.
What user is it on with you and what rights did you give?
RE: Missing Administration in UI - TheDreadPirate - 2024-04-14
644 jellyfin:jellyfin is the default permission for that file and works for me. What issue are you having? Can you describe your setup?

Hi There,
I'm running Jellyfin on a Proxmox instance in a container.

I have 3 regular users with a simple password. That works ..
But it seems I don't have a admin anymore?
I updated the system witch bumped me to a higher Jellyfin and restarted the Jellyfin container.
I have to say this system has been running for more than a year, but now I wanted to change Thumbnails/Icons for some seasons for some Series
Storage is on a ZFS system inside Proxmox and served with samba to the different containers and Windows PC's
I found the solution here..
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/administration/troubleshooting/#unlock-locked-user-account
In my case the Jellyfin user wasn't visible on the login screen, after a year one can forget these things
