Music Assistant corrects sign-in for people using a Plex server shared with their account. Falling back to an ordinary Plex account token could either fail setup or, on networks allowing unauthenticated access, connect in the server owner’s context instead of the shared user’s.
The connection verifies the chosen server and the user’s server-specific access before loading cached library information. A missing permission produces a clear access-denied error. Contributor aevans0001 makes a first contribution to the Music Assistant server, reviewed by Marvin Schenkel.
