Hey all,
I've created five users in my setup and for simplicity sake let's call them Dad, Mom, Kid1, Kid2, and Admin. I have created Dad, Mom, Kid1, and Kid2 to preserve each persons viewing data and all passwords are blank. I created Admin to administer the server and have set a password for this account. Each user has a tag in parental control to prevent certain videos that person would not be interested in from showing under their account. Admin has the ability to view everything. What I would like to have happen is for each user, except for Admin, to be able to select their account, without prompting for a password, and take them into their dashboard. For Admin, I would like that account to prompt for a password every time. In the client, I can enable automatic sign in however it allows automatic sign in for the admin account (obviously not prompting for a password). I can set "Always ask for credentials" however now I need to select the user (which is what I want) but now I have to scroll down and select "use a password" and then scroll down to sign in to get to the users dashboard.
My questions:
1. Is there away to prompt for a password on only select accounts every time?
2. I've tried hiding the admin account by selecting "Hide this user from login screens" however the admin account always shows on the login screen. Is that possibly a bug?
Thanks!
PS - I love Jellyfin! Awesome work Jellyfin team!
