Editing Users

From the User List, you can click the Edit button to modify a particular user's settings.

You can also click the check boxes and click the Bulk Edit button to set user permissions for multiple users at once.

General​

Display Name​

You can optionally set a "friendly name" for any user. This name will be used in lieu of their media server (Jellyfin/Emby/Plex) username (for users imported from the media server) or their email address (for manually-created local users).

Email​

note

This field is read-only for users imported from Plex.

You can optionally set a proper email address for any user. This email address will be used for notifications, local sign-in and password resets.

By default, users imported from Jellyfin/Emby will use their media server username as their email address.

warning

You cannot leave this field blank.

Display Language​

Users can override the global display language to use Jellyseerr in their preferred language.

Discover Region & Discover Language​

Users can override the global filter settings to suit their own preferences.

Movie Request Limit & Series Request Limit​

You can override the default settings and assign different request limits for specific users by checking the Enable Override box and selecting the desired request limit and time period.

Unless an override is configured, users are granted the global request limits.

Note that users with the Manage Users permission are exempt from request limits, since that permission also grants the ability to submit requests on behalf of other users.

Users are also unable to modify their own request limits.

Password​

All "local users" are assigned passwords upon creation, but users imported from Plex can also optionally configure passwords to enable sign-in using their email address.

Passwords must be a minimum of 8 characters long.

Notifications​

Users can configure their personal notification settings here. Please see Notifications for details on configuring and enabling notifications.

Permissions​

Users cannot modify their own permissions. Users with the Manage Users permission can manage permissions of other users, except those of users with the Admin permission.
