Possible to merge users somehow? Or some way to move a full library to another user?
I have been using Immich for a while now with a single password based account. I use one big external library where all my images and photos live (I don't use the camera backup functionality). Yesterday in an attempt to enable access to Immich outside my home network I followed this guide (https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/8299) which not only allows access via Cloudflare but I switched my auth to OAuth (via Github). When I log in with that account though I now have a brand new second user with an empty library. Unfortunately it looks like the "owner" for an external library can't be modified either after creation. I don't see any way to merge the accounts of migrate the library to the other user. Is my only option to delete the external library and add it to my "new" user? I assume I will lose all my custom albums, people names, etc and it might even have to re-generate the thumnbnails/video transcodes/etc? This library is many TBs so would love to avoid that if possible.

Are you using the same email?
unfortunately my github is a different email but I guess that is a solvable problem. As long as I oath with the same email address it will log me in as my original password-based account?
It should, yes
ok awesome - easy enough to experiment with. Thank you will give that a shot.
Confirmed working. Thank you!
