Limiting available shared libraries

richorlin · 11-19-2020, 07:27 PM

It seems that Calibre version 3 and later allow internet-based users to choose from all available libraries that your sever has access to. Is there anyway easy way to limit the viewable libraries to a specific library? I don't want users that I share my books with to be able to access a private library or my backups.
Thanks.

You will need to setup user accounts for that in Preferences->Sharing over the net. Then you cn restrict any user account to any subset of libraries or even a virtual librry.
