Issues with Looks Good Library
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2021 7:47 am
I am using an AS5304T, just set up a couple of days ago. I set up Looks Good using my named account which has administrator rights and it's working fine, my films are being updated etc. However I then wanted to set up a secondary account for my children to access the videos because if I give them my password, then with access to everything, who knows what they will do. At first I set them up as standard users, allowing them access to the video folders and the Looks Good app. When they log in, they see the below:
So they don't have anything showing in the library.
I then gave them administrator access - again, the same appears. If I check the library settings, they are pointing to the correct file locations. If I log off and log on using my user ID, everything is fine. I can log on with the admin ID - all is correct. But if I now create a new user, that user cannot access any media I have on the NAS, irrespective of whether I create them as admin or as user and grant the correct rights.
Anybody have any ideas how I can share my Looks Good with my kids without granting them admin rights? Will I have to give them my user credentials as a plain user with restricted rights and create a new admin for myself or how would I resolve this?
