User Profile Support

I'm not sure if this has ever been requested as a feature or plugin, nor was I able to sift through the forum and find anything similar:

I would like to request an enhancement that allows user profiles, so that each profile can be set to access different data.
My setup is basically - Serviio Server is installed on my WHS 2011 64bit server, where it points to designated folders to retrieve audio and video. All my devices - whether it's my bluray player, phone or tablet - can access the folders fine. My g/f wanted me to set her up a special folder just for her on the server for her music. This, so when she accesses the server remotely, she is directly connected to only her music and not the whole list of everything shared.

I figured, if it were possible to designate her own login or profile setting, she then could have access to only her stuff, or the stuff that I put in her folder.

I hope that makes sense....

One other suggestion in this direction is to limit certain folders for only part of the connected devices. For example, I can make sure that the streamer in the kids room will only be able to access kids movies. Such an implementation could also satisfy the user profile need (given that each user uses a defined set of devices).

This is already available in the Pro version
