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.

See: https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/1171#issuecomment-446378261

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)
