Setting what a friend can access.

[markrieder]

When I add another friend's account to the system, I want to be able to set what he can access and what he can't. For example, movies will be shared, but I don't want him to get access to private photos or things of my family. I want to specifically set access to certain folders and applications that I select. I created a trial account for a friend and when I logged in with his details I had access to everything. It would be great to be able to set what apps the dear users can use and what folders they can access.

[bashbash]

when youre doing the folders and users you can set who has access to what, and password lock them (with the user pass)

for example on my dash I have

My folder, my dads folder, and my moms

each with their respective folder set to private and they can only access their respective folders

If you're running the one click immich install the photos folder is made public to all users in your pool, so they would have access to those. I haven't looked into a work around because I am exclusively using my immich instance to share photos with my family.

I would recommend creating a private folder for yourself to separate anything that you don't want others to have access to. Like @bashbash said, you can also create user specific private folders as well so everyone has their own directories within your pool(s) but if your family is anything like mine they will have a hard time logging into an SMB share with their user name and password every they are trying to connect.

[bashbash]

You should be able to save the log in to the SMB share. I don’t think I’ve ever had to re log in for any of them.
