Best Practice- users

[RDeNatale]

I’v just started moving from plex to Jellyfin. On setup I gave the admin user its own name. I also made a ‘plain’ user with the name I use for myself on the lan.

I’m not sure why I did that, might have seen something during the onboarding process.

Now I’m wondering if it would have been better to have used my regular username for the admin user, so I wouldn’t have separate watched status.  I’d still create separate users for my wife etc.

Thoughts?

imo, the admin account should only be used for admin roles not watching videos so there is no need to retain watched states for admin

my setup
admin - only does admin things
user1 - general all purpose household, can watch but cannot modify or do admin things
user2 - general+my stuff only
users3-99 - general+their own library
