Normal users can request deletion of media

[JensDeLeersnyder]

Description

That a normal user could also see the settings icon of content and request the removal of that content in Radarr and remove all the files of that content. This would be a permission that can be enabled for a user.

Desired Behavior

In settings --> users would have an option to allow them to request the removal of content.

Then a user would have the same settings icon as an administrator for content, but only have the option to request the removal of that content from Radarr

I see this as two separate features. The first one is to delete a media directly in overseer (for now you only delete the requests not the media but I could be mistaken). The second one is to let people delete the media they asked for.

I would love to give my help on this one. If you look for more in depth analysis or even code, ping me.

I'm currently looking for a more similar way to manage deletion but found this issue first.

My idea is threefold: 1) It is neater to remove the content only when nobody wants it: remove when not in any list (existing feature in Radarr)

2) Be able to browse in Overseerr, because Overseerr is very nice to search;). Then the user can use the request button: request and -add to Plex watchlist- . (Not a feature of Overseerr)

3) When a user is done watching, it can immediately remove it from the watchlist in Plex as indication the content isn't wanted anymore by that user.

Maybe this solution is more suitable or elegant for your use case, except for the shortcoming in Overseerr.

So the feature request would be: when requesting movie, add to Plex watchlist. Kind of what #3054 suggest

Note: Sonarr has the rule that they don't remove content automatically. So this won't work for series.

This seems like an elegant solution that would fit my needs.

This solution is quite elegant despite needing to change habits. I would love to see it but this won’t fit all my needs. I would like to surf on Overseerr to manage my media and let my users do so for the one they asked (as I don’t want to check if they saw it or not or don’t want to see it anymore).

With your solution, for a movie that I’ve already seen but that I don’t want to remove from my library (because it’s my favourite movie or is a special version,…) it will be a little bit weird because it will stay on my watchlist. There is no granularity on the time during the film is in no one’s watchlist (I really didn’t know that Radarr had this feature so I might be wrong).

And lastly, the fact that doesn’t work on Sonarr feels like the solution isn’t complete and will be misleading or cumbersome to explain to users.
