Disable viewing comments for role
Describe the feature you'd like
Hi, We have a BookStack instance for documentations of our products. Our Clients can log in to view the latest docs. (Previously we'd export PDFs after every release and send them out, not very practical) We currently have comments disabled globally, but we'd like to enable and use them for internal use (developers, PMs, operations teams etc) only. We'd like to prevent the Client role from viewing all comments globally, across all Shelves/Books/Chapters etc.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
The benefits would be, that you could use Comments for things that aren't "worthy" of getting their own page (where you could restrict view access), but without showing them to certain roles. For example, if you have Internal users (Dev, PM, Ops), they'd be able to view and add comments, but when the External users (Client) log in, they'd only see the Book/Chapter/Page itself, no comments. (For example, if PMs would like to leave suggestions to certain features
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Not that I know of. I've found issues #541 and #1361, but I don't see a way to disable comments globally for just one role. Only on a GLOBAL / app-wide scale.
