As for adding access control/spying on user activity to the content server, I'm afraid I have no interest in adding such functionality. You can restrict what books a given user account has access to and whether the user account can make changes to the library, thats all.

Thank you for responding! To be honest, I didn’t fully understand. Calibre is very powerful and has incredible features that I haven’t fully explored yet because many of them require technical knowledge. It would be useful to have a video showing this possibility, specifically regarding grouping multiple files and subfolders into the same book.
I believe this is a feature that makes all the difference. Imagine, for example, a trilogy. You could add the three books separately in Calibre, but wouldn’t it make more sense to keep the entire collection together? For instance, think of a set of two language-learning books with a folder of audio files. If Calibre allows placing these files in one entry, where clicking on it lets us choose what to view, it makes sense to have two folders within the same entry: one with the two books and another with the audio files. This not only makes Calibre a more advanced digital repository but also provides better organization by grouping works. That’s the idea behind my comment.
Regarding the server, I looked at the options, and you are incredibly advanced! I loved that you took the care to create subtitles for each option! Your work is impeccable! It’s hard to believe there are such talented people!
On my local network, which involves my school’s students, I want to define not only what each group can access (which is possible) but also control the amount of material they can transfer. It would be interesting to at least have this feature, to manage the quantity. When I set a book to be read on the platform without downloading it to the device, it still transfers. It would be useful to have a Calibre reading browser to prevent downloads when we set a user to "read-only" access.
This kind of advanced control makes unlimited use in my school possible.
Of course, we must also be concerned about espionage—it’s a very current issue! The goal is to ensure users comply with the intended purpose, which is why I think these suggested features could be interesting in this regard.
That said, Calibre, as it stands, is already perfect! I love it! I’ve read international reviews, media articles, and even asked ChatGPT, and everyone loves it! Even companies like AMAZON and others recommend Calibre. You show great respect for your users, which is evident in the incredible open-source solution you provide.
Thank you so much for Calibre! I’ll keep coming back to learn more and provide suggestions, as well as to make donations, which are very well-deserved!
Best regards,
David
