Allow Grimmory user to be used in OPDS

[IvanGavrilenko]

What's Your Idea?

Currently I have several Grimmory users (i.e. my profile, profile for 15 y.o. child, profile for 9 y.o. child, profile for my co-workers) distinguishing libraries (for my co-workers and my family) and age rating (and I hope I would manage to use tags for more flexible distinguishing).

But when I try to download book for the e-ink reader for my child I can not use OPDS as I can create OPDS user only accessing for the whole library.

So it would be nice if Grimmory user would have a tick "Allow OPDS access" which would create a OPDS user with same name and password (may be changable or not) with access only to books that original Grimmory user has.

Why Would This Be Helpful?

I could share my library via OPDS to download books to e-ink reader with the limitations like original Grimmory user has which would allow flexible restrictions to user.

And I would need to update the restrictions (i.e. allow a child not only books 10+ but also 13+) I would need to update only Grimmory profile (not 2 profiles Grimmory and OPDS).

Anything Else? (Optional)

Want to Help Out?

I'm happy to help test and give feedback

Have You Considered Any Alternatives? (Optional)

At least in Calibre you can create OPDS user with restrictions based on tags, user fields, rating etc.

The OPDS settings page is account specific, not server-wide.

If you give the Grimmory child accounts the OPDS Feed Access permission on the Users list, you can then login to each Grimmory account and create OPDS credentials that apply to that specific account.

This is good to know. However, it would be ideal if this could be managed from an Admin account. It can be cumbersome to do this for multiple users, plus a user can change their password which would require admin to reset their password to do this if they don't know it.

The feature is closed by #169 (comment)

But the idea of moving user-specific OPDS settings to admin account from #169 (comment) is really needed to be done.
