Operations
Permissions
Section titled “Permissions”Permissions are Scryer access grants that determine which facets, libraries, settings, and operational pages a user can see or manage. You grant them in Settings > Users, and they shape the left navigation.
Permissions relate to facets and libraries because access can hide entire sections or individual child pages.
For example, a user can have access to the Movies library while the System pages remain hidden.
Notification channel
Section titled “Notification channel”A notification channel is a configured provider instance that receives selected Scryer events. You manage channels in Settings > Notifications.
Notification channels depend on notification plugins and subscription scope.
For example, a channel can be subscribed to import-complete events for selected facets.
Subtitle provider
Section titled “Subtitle provider”A subtitle provider is a configured provider instance that Scryer can use when subtitle workflows are enabled.
Subtitle provider settings store the connection and preference fields the selected provider plugin requires.
In Settings > Subtitles, you can enable subtitle behavior and configure one or more provider instances.
Recycle bin
Section titled “Recycle bin”The recycle bin is Scryer’s retention area for deleted media operations when enabled. You configure it in Settings > Recycle Bin.
Use it to inspect, restore, or purge items according to your local retention policy.
For example, a deleted file can remain recoverable until retention or a manual purge removes it.
A job is background work Scryer runs, such as scans, scheduled evaluation, maintenance, or provider refresh work. You’ll find jobs in System > Jobs.
Jobs are operational observability, not user-facing media organization.
For example, System > Jobs can show whether a background scan or maintenance job is currently running.
Library scan
Section titled “Library scan”A library scan inspects your configured library roots and reconciles files with Scryer’s catalog and metadata. You’ll find scans in media library settings and system activity.
Scans help Scryer understand local state; they don’t configure external services.
After adding an existing media folder as a library root, run a library scan to let Scryer discover matching titles and files.
