SOLVED: Issue: First two users created via the Jellyfin API inherit session data (e.g., “Cont

[ca2ju]

Jellyfin Version: 10.9.9

Installation Method and Platform: Ubuntu Server

Hello, I have a Python script that creates users through the Jellyfin API. However, the first two users it creates are inheriting session data such as “Continue Watching” and “Last Watched.” This shouldn’t happen because it’s a new user. However, this issue only occurs with the first two users; starting from the third user, everything is clean as it should be. Can someone help me with this?

OBS:I’ve already checked the logs, and there’s nothing different, so I didn’t post them here.

Can you show us the script or the particular endpoint you are using plus the parameters used?

Don't worry about the comments in the script, they're in Portuguese. Just to provide more information, the API keys I'm using were created within the server for both REQUIRESELEVATION and DEFAULTAUTHORIZATION. I've also tested using the administrator's access token for REQUIRESELEVATION_API_KEY, but I encountered the same issue with the "first two users."

Have you tried using the jellyfin api client python?

https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-apiclient-python

I haven't noticed your issue when I've used this to create multiple clients, albeit I'm not using apikeys. Rather, I'm using an access token from an elevated user.

I came back to give feedback and say that I tried everything. What worked for me was creating a new administrator user and using their access token; everything went back to normal.
