So I’ve got a smart playlist that I’ve test created on the “Home Admin” account, and everything works fine. Create the list, change the background, change the poster. All is good.

I switch to the managed user account, which is obviously more restricted, and I can create the smart playlist fine. However when I go to change the poster or the background image either uploading or selecting by url an image the managed user gets: “there was an error uploading this artwork”.

Quick look at the logs yields the 403 (Forbidden) (slightly sanitized):

Jun 04, 2022 12:59:15.375 [0xhex] DEBUG - Completed: [1.2.3.4:44874] 403 POST /library/metadata/165220/posters?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffqdn%2Fimage.png (14 live) TLS GZIP 5ms 496 bytes (pipelined: 1)

So seemingly the managed user doesn’t have permission to upload anything, and I’m finding no way to enable such a permission for the managed user, so this looks like a bug in the upload permissions checking?
