Default User Permissions

[tguidry]

I have successfully tied subsonic into Active Directory for user authentication.

When a new user logs in for the first time it creates a local subsonic account. I would like to modify the default permission it creates. I would like to have users be able to download files by default.

Where can I make these adjustments.

Thanks for your work on this great product.

Bumping an old thread... I'm trying to figure this out as well.

third bump. I too use active directory with a number of users. It's a pain to manually reset each individual user to grant additional privileges.

I did find a thread on granting permissions in bulk, but that's it

There is no built in functionality to do what you want. You could take a look at the source code, or make a feature request for potential inclusion into a future version.

but right now there is no easy way to accomplish what you desire.

Sorry,

This is still something that can't be done from the main interface but there is a workaround as follows that we use: here is an example of giving all users download access.

Access the /db.view page from your domain then enter the following commands into the text box:
delete from user_role where role_id = 2
Press “ok” then type
insert into user_role (username, role_id) select distinct(username), 2 from user_role
Press “ok”

I don't have a list of all the other roles but I do know changing cover art is role_id = 5
