 * 🔗 Ombi Integration: Automatically creates Ombi accounts for new users using their email address and login details, and your own defined set of permissions.
 * Account management: Apply settings to your users individually or en masse, and delete users, optionally sending them an email notification with a reason.
 * 📨 Email storage: Add your existing users email addresses through the UI, and jfa-go will ask new users for them on account creation.
     * Email addresses can optionally be used instead of usernames

 * Authentication via Jellyfin: Instead of using separate credentials for jfa-go and Jellyfin, jfa-go can use it as the authentication provider.
