Add ability to assign users directly from the role edit page
Describe the feature you'd like
I'd like to request the ability to assign users to a role directly from the role editing page in BookStack. Currently, to assign users to a role, each user must be edited individually. This feature would introduce a user selection interface (such as a multi-select list or search with checkboxes) within the role edit page, allowing administrators to bulk-assign users to that role.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
This feature would significantly streamline user management for administrators, especially in larger organizations or active environments with frequent role changes. It reduces the time and clicks required to manage user-role relationships and helps prevent errors or omissions when updating multiple user permissions. It improves overall usability, efficiency, and consistency in role assignment workflows, aligning BookStack more closely with user management patterns seen in other systems.
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
No. While it's currently possible to assign roles to users individually by editing each user, there is no built-in way to manage role assignments in bulk from the role side. This proposed feature would offer a more scalable and admin-friendly approach, particularly useful for larger teams.
