Description

This PR apply the override rules to the Advanced Request Modal.
Also moves the Override Rules logic to into its own file in lib/ for more clarity.

How Has This Been Tested?

  1. Setup an override rule
  2. Open the request modal with advanced perms and check that the rule is applied in the modal.

Pull request overview

This PR extends the existing Override Rules feature so that the Advanced Request UI can pre-populate advanced options (root folder / profile / tags) based on override rules, aligning Advanced Requests with the same override behavior used during request creation.

Changes:

  • Pass tmdbId into AdvancedRequester from the movie and TV request modals.
  • Add a new server endpoint (POST /overrideRule/advancedRequest) to compute applicable override defaults for a given media/user.
  • Extract override-rule evaluation into a shared server helper (server/lib/overrideRules.ts) and reuse it in request creation logic.

Hit this exact gap today. I'm using override rules to route anime requests to a dedicated anime quality profile + tagging for Radarr. Confirmed the rule itself matches correctly for normal users, but skips when the request comes from an account with MANAGE_REQUESTS (including self-request and impersonation), landing on the default profile with no tag instead.

Built and tested out this branch with the same setup I have in the live environment and it works and solves the issue. Would be great to see this added.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change extracts override-rule resolution into a shared helper, adds an authenticated advanced-request API endpoint, and updates request modals to apply returned folder, profile, and tag selections.

Changes

Advanced override rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared override-rule resolution
server/lib/overrideRules.ts, server/entity/MediaRequest.ts
Override-rule filtering, prioritization, and value merging move into overrideRules. MediaRequest.request uses the helper result.
Advanced request API
server/routes/overrideRule.ts, seerr-api.yml
The authenticated POST /overrideRule/advancedRequest route fetches media and the requesting user, resolves override rules, and returns nullable rootFolder, profileId, and tags fields. The endpoint contract defines the request body and 404 responses.
Request modal integration
src/components/RequestModal/AdvancedRequester/index.tsx, src/components/RequestModal/MovieRequestModal.tsx, src/components/RequestModal/TvRequestModal.tsx, src/components/RequestModal/CollectionRequestModal.tsx
AdvancedRequester requests override values when server data and the selected inputs are available. It applies the returned selections. Request modals pass tmdbId and use combined OR permission checks.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 48dd8

The PR applies override rules to advanced requests, but the current head can still apply stale settings, fail to resolve overrides for collection requests, and expose an inaccurate endpoint contract. These issues may cause incorrect or missing overrides and client integration failures, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Document the request body and error responses.

The handler reads mediaType, tmdbId, is4k, and requestUser from the body, but the spec declares no requestBody. Generated clients and consumers cannot call this endpoint from the spec alone. The handler also returns 404 through next.

Do not map every failure to 404 'Media not found'.

The bare catch hides TMDB outages, database errors, and programming errors behind a 404. Callers cannot distinguish a missing TMDB id from a server failure, and the original error is not logged.

88-91: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject a missing requestUserId before the query, and drop the unused relation.

If a caller holds MANAGE_REQUESTS or MANAGE_USERS but omits requestUser in the body, requestUserId is undefined. TypeORM 0.3 ignores undefined where values by default, so the WHERE clause is dropped and findOne returns the first user row. The route then resolves override rules for an unrelated user and returns that user's folder, profile, and tags. This affects exactly the manager self-request path reported in the linked discussion.

relations: { requests: true } is also unused. The resolver reads only requestUser.id, so this loads every request row for the user on each modal open.

🐛 Proposed fix
-      const user = await userRepository.findOne({
-        where: { id: requestUserId },
-        relations: { requests: true },
-      });
+      const userId = Number(requestUserId);
+      if (!Number.isInteger(userId)) {
+        return next({ status: 400, message: 'Invalid user id.' });
+      }
+      const user = await userRepository.findOne({
+        where: { id: userId },
+      });

Type and validate the request body.

The other handlers in this file declare typed body generics. This handler reads req.body.mediaType, req.body.tmdbId, req.body.is4k, and req.body.serviceId untyped. A missing or non-numeric tmdbId reaches the TMDB call, and any mediaType other than MediaType.MOVIE silently selects the TV branch. Declare the body type and coerce tmdbId to a number before the lookup.

Do not map every failure to 404 'Media not found'.

The bare catch discards the error. A database failure or an override-rule resolution failure is reported as a missing media item, and nothing is logged. Capture the error, log it, and keep 404 for the TMDB lookup only.

129-130: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Handle omitted optional fields consistently when ranking override rules.

genre, language, and keywords are optional, so in-memory rules can contain undefined; counting only null values can mis-rank rules. Use != null for specificity checks. The movie and TV metadata lookups already request keywords before resolution, so no additional change is needed for keyword availability.

524-530: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Resolve overrides for each selected collection movie.

This AdvancedRequester has no tmdbId. Its override effect therefore exits before calling /api/v1/overrideRule/advancedRequest, so collection requests do not resolve movie-specific rules. The collection request then reuses the same default selections for every selected part. Resolve overrides per selected part, or add a collection-aware API. Do not pass the collection identifier as a movie identifier.

Do not map every failure to 404 'Media not found'.

The catch block has no binding, so a database error or a TMDB outage returns 404 with a misleading message. Log the error and return 500 for non-TMDB failures.

server/routes/overrideRule.ts:88

  • The request-user selection check currently requires BOTH MANAGE_REQUESTS and MANAGE_USERS (default array check is "and"). The API schema/docs state the requestUser override should be honored if the caller has either permission, and if requestUser is omitted it should fall back to the authenticated user instead of producing "User not found".
      const requestUserId = req.user?.hasPermission([
        Permission.MANAGE_REQUESTS,
        Permission.MANAGE_USERS,

There are a few issues currently. More details are inline but here's a tldr:

  • The /overrideRule endpoint is unreachable for the users this is meant to fix. /overrideRule is mounted behind an ADMIN check, so the route's own permission list never runs and every non-admin gets a 403 that the client silently swallows.
  • Also the new effect in AdvancedRequester has no defaultOverrides guard, so the edit modal resets deliberately-set folder, profile and tags to the rule values on open.
  • useOverrides still excludes MANAGE_REQUESTS users:

// Apply overrides if the user is not an admin or has the "advanced request" permission
const useOverrides = !user.hasPermission([Permission.MANAGE_REQUESTS], {
type: 'or',
});

That means rules only reach a request when it goes through the modal. Direct API requests from those accounts still bypass rules entirely, so the feature is only closed for the UI path. The feature here is meant to apply to advanced requests as a rule, so it belongs on the server, with the client pre-fill as presentation.

  • The existing override rule cases in server/routes/request.test.ts cover the create path so the extraction is guarded there, but nothing covers the new endpoint.

This permission list never runs. The router is mounted behind an ADMIN check, so anything without the ADMIN bit gets a 403 before reaching here.

router.use(
'/overrideRule',
isAuthenticated(Permission.ADMIN),
overrideRuleRoutes
);

The feature is admin-only as written, and the client's empty catch hides the 403, so REQUEST_ADVANCED and MANAGE_REQUESTS-without-ADMIN users just get server defaults with no indication of why. This route needs to live outside the admin-mounted router. This is from reading the code, not testing, so confirm it on a plain REQUEST_ADVANCED account and on a MANAGE_REQUESTS account without ADMIN.

Declare the generics like the other routes in this file so req.body is typed. As written mediaType is unvalidated and anything that isn't movie silently takes the TV branch, and tmdbId goes into the TMDB call unchecked. I mean sure we only have TV/Movie but it would be cleaner and safer that way.

hasPermission defaults to and, so a MANAGE_REQUESTS user without MANAGE_USERS falls back to their own id. The edit modal passes the request owner as requestUser, so rules get evaluated against the wrong user there. The create path evaluates against the owner.

Not sure about what you mean there? (I agree with the permission thing, i have to set it up as type: 'or')

None of this can fire today, since everything reaching this route has ADMIN, and hasPermission returns true on the ADMIN bit before the array is even looked at, so the check always passes and the fallback never runs. What I meanf is this becomes an issue the moment the route moves out of the admin-mounted router, which is the other comment I mentioned.

Once this is reachable, a user with MANAGE_REQUESTS but no MANAGE_USERS opens someone else's pending request. The modal sends the owner as requestUser, since selectedUser is seeded from the requestUser prop in the edit flow. This route drops it and uses req.user.id, so the rules that come back are the caller's, not the owner's (if you have user specific rules). The modal pre-fills with them and PUT writes them straight onto a request that is still owned by the other user.

That case is only true on the request side. PUT only rejects a userId that differs from the current owner, so passing the existing owner is fine without MANAGE_USERS:

let requestUser = request.requestedBy;
if (
req.body.userId &&
req.body.userId !== request.requestedBy.id &&
!req.user?.hasPermission([
Permission.MANAGE_USERS,
Permission.MANAGE_REQUESTS,
])
) {
return next({
status: 403,
message: 'You do not have permission to modify the request user.',
});
} else if (req.body.userId) {
requestUser = await userRepository.findOneOrFail({
where: { id: req.body.userId },
});
}

And createRequest throws rather than falling back to the caller:

let requestUser = user;
if (
requestBody.userId &&
!requestUser.hasPermission([
Permission.MANAGE_USERS,
Permission.MANAGE_REQUESTS,
])
) {
throw new RequestPermissionError(
'You do not have permission to modify the request user.'
);
} else if (requestBody.userId) {
requestUser = await userRepository.findOneOrFail({
where: { id: requestBody.userId },
});
}

So just swapping to or doesn't fix this. A MANAGE_REQUESTS-only caller has no MANAGE_USERS, so createRequest rejects any userId in the body and PUT only accepts the id already on the request. With or this endpoint would hand them rules for any user id they send, for a request they have no way to create or edit.

Match the request path instead:

  • creating: only accept a requestUser the caller could legally pass to createRequest, otherwise 403 rather than falling back to req.user.id
  • editing: the caller is allowed to pass the existing owner, so the endpoint needs the request id to confirm that's who requestUser is

serviceId is taken verbatim with no check that it belongs to the given mediaType or to the 4K tier the caller is allowed to request against. Shouldn't we bind it to the configured servers for that mediaType and is4k before querying rules?

True, but we don't check that anywhere else too (e.g. in MediaRequest.request)

Every failure in this block reports as 404 Media not found. A TMDB 5xx or a DB error is not a missing item. Narrow the 404 to the TMDB lookup and let real failures surface as 500.

label: 'Media Request' is wrong now that the route calls this. It fires on modal open, server switch and user switch, under a label that means request creation.

No defaultOverrides guard here, unlike the serverData effect above. The edit modal passes tmdbId alongside overrides loaded from the existing request.

<AdvancedRequester
type="movie"
tmdbId={tmdbId}
is4k={is4k}
requestUser={editRequest.requestedBy}
defaultOverrides={{
folder: editRequest.rootFolder,
profile: editRequest.profileId,
server: editRequest.serverId,
tags: editRequest.tags,
}}
onChange={(overrides) => {
setRequestOverrides(overrides);
}}
/>

So opening a pending request whose folder or profile was deliberately set to something other than the rule value resets those fields, and onChange fires with the rule values before the user touches anything. Skip the apply for any field defaultOverrides already covers.

No cancellation or stale-response guard. Switching server or user twice in quick succession can land the earlier response over the current selection. Capture the serviceId and user id the request was made for and drop the response if either has moved on.

Swallowing this makes a failed lookup indistinguishable from no matching rule. Log the error.

This replaces the current selection, while the create path merges rule tags into the submitted tags. Send selectedTags with the request and let the helper do the union, so both paths agree.
