Limited Access UX Experiments

Bookstack has some predefined roles, but roles can be created such that they have read access limited to:

  • Books
  • Chapters
  • Pages

Interface for users with read permissions strictly limited to those types changes dynamically.

They do appear to all have access to the page set as the landing page.

Pages only interface

Pages only user:

  • has the Books menu item
  • can see the homepage
  • maybe can't edit homepage? (~LP)
  • can see other pages, (I don't believe there's a page that lists all pages ~LP)
