    Collections = window into unavailable libraries?

    Users with access to Collections can thereby see titles and posters from otherwise-unavailable libraries?

    Picture this: you've meticulously organized your media libraries on Jellyfin in order to share your wholesome movies, TV shows, and home videos with family, while keeping a certain other library to yourself. 

    A family member notes they'd make better use of this platform if they could maintain their own Collections. 

    You grant them access to Collections.

    The problem is, the library you've intentionally not granted them access to has its own Collections, as well.

    Suddenly, on their home screen, the new Collections link appears atop a poster for media from that library they aren't supposed to see anything from. And if they follow the link, they see the titles as well under Collections. They can't watch the media, but the damage is already done even just with the poster and title.

    Is this working-as-intended? Does it describe a misconfigured Jellyfin installation? What recourse?

    pretty much as intended, you can't use an exclusive filter for titles users see since that's not a feature yet
    under parental control you can filter by tag but it's inclusive, meaning you have to tag every file they are "allowed" to see rather than just tag the ones they're "not allowed"
    (never checked this against collections but should work)

    as far as recourse, depending on how bad these titles were perhaps a new town and a name change? (joke)

    there is no per user collections currently
