[Playlists] Limit Editing Access in Collaborative Playlists

[spot41]

This problem has already been addressed in other ideas quite a few times, so I'll make it brief. At the moment, anyone can edit a collaborative playlist. There are numerous ways to solve this, e.g. granting the creator the right to put people on blacklists or whitelists. Another easy fix that might be a separate link for the creator to share only with persons who shoud be able to add and delete song! It would already help a lot 🙂

I'm having this issue, every now and then there is a random user adding songs to my playlist!

I wish I had more control of who have the permission to add more songs. I think it's pretty basic and very strange that this is not the default since the beginning .

(note: that ava user is not someone I know)

Yes we have the exact same set of songs added as in you case @mdlm, but by someone else: 

So I think it's a bot doing.

please do something about the "Pesukone" issue; it completely ruins the experience of having a collaborative playlist. i like the idea of making collab playlists invite-only and/or banning "Pesukone" from the platform entirely if completely changing the collaborative playlists is too difficult.

Don't worry about moaning ioim1985. We pay the monthly subscription fee for a product that works.

I just found out there are bots that go around looking for Collaborative playlists and then dump a whole heap of tracks into open playlists.

Social media has been around for 20 years and some of the basics have been ignored by one of the largest companies.

Let's consolidate our votes to one suggestion entry to increase its visibility. This currently has the most votes.

Edit: Looks like this one is now the winner!

Agreed, this is getting ridiculous. Every single day a bot destroys my collaborative playlist.

• I'm having this issue with pesukone bots too and the fact that spotify not only doesn't have 2 factor but also doesn't have editing permissions is a huge red flag. Definitely looking at switching away from spotify ASAP, I have big collaborative playlists and I'm so sick of them being modified by bots

I have the same issue. I have collaborative playlist with my friends which have also Spotify Premium but now I found that somebody which we don't know adding random music to our playlist. Why is this possible? Why it's not possible to make a collaborative playlist only with people which I follow? It's not hard to implement this feature. I saw that a lot of people have a similar problem but there are no solution.

I am adding a photo where some "girl" adding and adding some random music into our playlist. wth why and why Spotify doesn't make some security steps? We have a Spotify Premium for a lot of years and this is a big problem for us.

 

After a few days another bot spammed my playlist again:

Please fix this problem ASAP. Or a lot of Premium users will go to other platform because of this issue.

Thank you.

Having a more robust playlist permissions/sharing system in place could pave the way for one of my other suggestions.

I really encourage people to take a look and give it a vote.
