external library and user management
I have a external photo library included in immich.
And I got my user and now added a new user for my wife.
But my wife sees zero photos. How can I give her the right to access the external library as well?

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l and df -h).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close command, and re-open it later if needed.You can either partner share your library or add another external library at the same path with her as the owner.
Realize this will re-generate all assets for her user (thumbs, encoded videos, faces). There's unfortunatley no better way yet
Will the already validated faces have to be validated again then?
Yes. They are separate per user currently
OK. Thank you for that.
So I am therefore working on adding a remote ML-server to my Immich-server. The Immich-server itself is on a Synology DS923+, with no GPU capability.
So, on the same LAN i am adding a ML-server running on a Windows 11 Pro 24h2 pc, in which I have put an Asus graphics card with a Nvidia TX1070. As far as I have read, this however, must run Docker on Linux via WSL2, since a VM on a VMWare Workstation would not be able to load the necessary Nvidia drivers.
The both work with 2,5 Gbps on this LAN.
I have not yet finished to get that arrangement to work flawlessly.
But all that in order to have the ML run in an acceptable speed. There are 85k photos, and they were processed with 1.000 per hour, i.e. 85 hours per user added, if we just not all share one and the same admin user (with unpleasant security implications).
I am very fond of Immich and the really brave work I see unfold here from all contributors.
I got a much newer version on my smart phone a couple of days ago, and I look forward to have for instance the map features to the pc-version as well.
