When I try to limit a user to only one virtual library, when they attempt to access the content-server they get a 403 error "The user guest is not allowed to access any libraries on this server".

But if I allow them access to all virtual libraries, they access the content server just fine, and can manually choose the same virtual library that I was initially trying to limit them to.

I did find something suspicious when configuring the user. When I restricted them to only one VL, I typed the library name as "Novels". Note the initial capital letter. But when I later confirmed through the content server what libraries were set, it displayed "novels" (lower case initial letter). Is this a possible bug in letter-case handling? Or something else I'm doing wrong?

Code:
[calibre@rpi3b user]$ systemctl --user stop calibre-server
[calibre@rpi3b user]$ calibre-server --userdb /srv/calibre/users-sqlite --manage-users
