Adding more than 1 user at a time

Postby tompo » Thu Sep 15, 2011 11:00 pm

Is there any to import something like 50 users with all/most of their settings?

Would love something like that so I can use is to share music with my students (50 new one every 3 months)

grtz.

No import feature (that I know of) but users can share a user name and password.
So you could create a user called say "spring students" with a password and another called "summer students" with another password.
However you would not be able to differentiate between the individual users within the group

Due to the confusion from too many genres of music, we have decided to put both country music and rap music into the genre of Crap music.

Thanks for your fast reaction.

I'm using the guest account option already. But I would like to see who is listening to what.
I hoped someone had done some smart scripting with the db.view.

Would it be possible to edit the database directly? That could do the trick.

You can do this if you set up subsonic to authenticate against an LDAP server. You could easily script a batch add into LDAP.

I set up a web page where I can send my users an invitation code. They use that code to create their username/password in LDAP.

Hi pkx,

Tried that, but the environment I'm running my subsonic server in has no acces to our LDAP server. Something todo with policy :roll:

What I'm looking for is a way to manipulate the subsonic database localy.

Thanks anyway
