The bug

I notice this problem when an user that is not the administrator tries to access the "Sharing" tab in the main page (shared albums). From the browser the effect is that the the URL changes to xxxxx.com/auth/login (i.e. it logs out) and the page freezes until you refresh. Form the app the effect is that the newly shared albums don't show. (only old ones, this started to happen after 1.50 I think, but don't quote me on that). In the logs I see errors, I think the cause is due to the Cannot read properties of null (reading 'id') error.

Unraid (debian based)

### Reproduction steps

```bash
1. Create an shared album from administrator account
2. Share to someone else
3. The non-admin user tries to load the "Sharing" tab
4. Error in the logs occurs

Additional information

The first error (ERR_STREAM_PREMATURE_CLOSE) occurs multiple times but doesn't seem to cause any issue, its the second one that occurs when you click the "Sharing" tab

I think I figured out what the problem was. It is related to having an album shared with an account that has been deleted (in the next 7 days). I think that since that account is "disabled" the authUser is null and then the mapAlbumExcludeAssetInfo fails to retrieve the id of the user. I solved it by disabling all sharing in all albums
