Notes

• When option 0 is selected, users will only show libraries associated to them according to their library access policy set in the GUI.
• When option 1, 2, or 3 are selected, users will only have libraries associated to them according to their library access policy set in the GUI.

• When Option 0 or 2 are selected:
  • Emby allows assigning individual sub-folders within the same library to a user.
    • When the same lib_id is both blacklisted and whitelisted; byPath or byNetworkPath must be used as the library matching_behavior
      • Using byId in this situation will cause issues properly matching blacklisted vs whitelisted media_items.
    • See Library Permissions vs Sub-Folder Permissions
  • Jellyfin only allows assigning individual libraries to a user.
    • With Jellyfin a user either has access to all sub-folders within a library OR access to none of the sub-folders within a library.
