Remove Delete Button from Server browser interface? How?

zoomiest · 04-10-2021, 12:15 PM

I just ran my first test of the Calibre Server. Am I impressed! That is amazing! Worked perfectly.

However, I was also able to delete a book from my library with the delete button in the browser interface! Yikes.

I have created some family history E-books, and was going to share those books to extended family through Calibre Server... so I would want to remove that button.

How can I modify that browser interface? or set up a read-only user account?

Alternatively, I will just E-mail the books when requested.

Is there a way to prevent people from being able to delete books but still allow them to upload?

If they are a User, then they can get books.
If you DO NOT grant them write access, that is all they can do.

So in otherwords, theres no way to hide the delete button from users that have write access? Was hoping there was a way even if it required me messing with some config files.
