## What it is
jfa-go is a self-hosted user management application for Jellyfin (and Emby) media servers, written in Go. It provides invite-based account creation, self-service password resets, user contact via email/Discord/Telegram/Matrix, account expiry, and bulk user administration through a web interface.

## Use cases
- manage jellyfin users with invite links
- let users sign up to my jellyfin server themselves
- self-service password resets for jellyfin accounts
- notify media server users before account expiry
- bulk enable disable delete jellyfin users
- restrict new jellyfin users with permission profiles
- send announcements to emby users via discord or telegram

## When to choose
- you run a Jellyfin (or Emby) instance and want invite-based signups without manual account creation
- you need automated password resets, account expiry, and user notifications for a media server
- you want a self-hosted web UI for bulk managing media server accounts

## When to avoid
- you need guaranteed long-term support - the maintainer states development is sporadic and suggests Wizarr as a more polished alternative
- you use a media server other than Jellyfin or Emby
- you only need simple user creation without invites, profiles, or contact features
