Seamless Jellyfin User Synchronization Enhancement

[Zar3leck]

Description

Summary:

This proposal aims to extend Jellyseerr's functionality by enabling seamless user synchronization between Jellyseerr and Jellyfin. The goal is to simplify user management by providing a unified interface to create, modify, and delete accounts, while ensuring data consistency between the two systems.

Desired Behavior

Key Features:

• [ ] Creating Jellyfin users from Jellyseerr:

• Automatic generation of strong passwords and email delivery.

• Assignment of predefined Jellyfin roles based on needs.

• [ ] Synchronization of user information:

• Real-time updates of profile information (name, email, etc.) between both systems.

• Synchronization of password changes.

• [ ] Centralized management of roles and permissions:

• Definition of specific Jellyfin roles within Jellyseerr.

• Assignment of these roles to users during creation or modification.

• [ ] Intuitive user interface:

• Overview of Jellyfin and local users.

• Filters and sorting to facilitate user search.

• Modification history for transparent tracking.

Benefits:

• Simplified user management: Centralization of operations within Jellyseerr.
• Enhanced security: Automatically generated strong passwords.
• Data consistency: Real-time synchronization of user information.
• Flexibility: Custom configuration of roles and permissions.

Technical Implementation (brief overview):

• Use of the Jellyfin API: To create, modify, and delete Jellyfin users.
• Synchronization mechanisms: To maintain data consistency between the two systems.
• User interface: Integration of features into the existing Jellyseerr interface.

Next steps:

• Development of core features: User creation, modification, and deletion.
• Unit and integration testing: To ensure code quality.
• Documentation: Creation of detailed documentation for users and developers.
• Community: Soliciting feedback from the Jellyseerr community to improve the proposal.

Additional Context

Gemini gave me a little boost in writing this post. This AI model totally got what I was trying to say and explained it perfectly. I hope it's clear to you all! Huge thanks to the devs for their awesome work. Keep up the great work!

Code of Conduct

• [X] I agree to follow Jellyseerr's Code of Conduct

So you want Jellyseerr to manage Jellyfin users. You could have just written that instead of asking Gemini to write 50 lines. I find it very disrespectful to ask an AI to write a bunch of crap that we have to take the time to figure out instead of taking a few minutes to write the feature request.

Managing users is not the purpose of Jellyseerr, there are other apps like jfa-go or wizarr that aims to do that.
