Ability to copy book's permissions to chapters and pages.

Open sdhadi opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the feature you'd like

The feature to copy shelves' permissions to books are already exist. It's useful to had it in book section and copy it's permissions to sub categories like shelves and pages.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This would be a time saving feature. In a situation when admin wants to share just a book with too many shelves and pages to certain roles, it could be possible to copy all permissions to all the assets entirely.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, but it would be very time consuming to it for each document one by one.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

Hi @sdhadi,

Are you aware the book and chapter permissions auto-cascade to child content already? Shelves specifically have a copy function only because we can't auto-cascade permissions in the same way due to a more complex relationship to books.

Hi @ssddanbrown , Now I do . I explained my problem with a bad title. My main problem was actually opponent of auto-cascade permission. I was in a situation which wanted to show just a book title (not it's contents) to certain roles. So it was favorable to have choice for auto-cascade permissions or not. Tnx for your time and support
