overseer requests by different users

ive got overseer working using the search bar, however when people request anything it goes through my own personal overseer account. this means im no longer able to track whos requested what. is there a setting i need to change or does every user need to sign into their own overseer before hand?

Hey, sadly it is not possible to have a overseerr account for each homarr user, I'm not sure, but I don't think so, that there is a requester field in the api request that we do, I'll have to check that

There only seems to be a userId option which doesn't really work for our integration except if we would query all overseerr users and match them by username to the homarr users

Can't you create an account for Homarr and approve the requests from that?

i could but my users also like to know what they have requested

Then build separate dashboards per user. The widget is intended to see all requests, not only yours, because it's intended that the admin can approve requests over the UI from other users, not approve your own.

There's no issue with the widget. The issue ive got personally is that overseer is only sending requests through my account. So all requests from any user show as if im requesting them. Im going to see if I can add every users individual overseer to their dashboard.
