access mgmt question: does serviio offer user profiles?

Hello;
I just started exploring serviio on an unraid server installation. I've installed in a docker container, it seems to work just fine.
I want to explore all features in the pro version while it is accessible, to decide whether I should buy it. So .. I see that there is the option of setting limited access for certain directories. Is that associated with different user profiles? Can I create multiple users and customize their access?

I have another question: is there a recommended folder structure? I have a few shares (created at the root of the file system) which I want to share on my home lan: pictures (which hold also short video clips), movies, music, home video, tv recordings, documentaries, etc. Quite a few. Should I just add them one by one and chose the type of content? Is there a optimal way to organize such content to show up properly in the media browser?


Thank you for your help,
hg

There are only 2 built-in profiles - Restricted and Non-restricted. You can assign one of these to each device and then to the folders too.

Thank you, Petr. Any comments for the second part of my question re folder structure?

you can share just one folder with all the file types, no problem.

I personally split videos to series / movies / home videos and set metadata sources for each separately (don't want online metadata for my home videos, fo example.)
