Describe the feature you'd like
Any one who visits the site, i.e., general public, can sign up for an account with full editing privilege.

Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
Make it more like Wikipedia and widen use-cases.

Additional context
Hi, I am new to this, did not seem to find any documentation on new user set up, just wanted to suggest this or check that it already is included in the implementation :)

Thank you!

Hi @lilayoung,

This should be currently possible. Simply create a role with the permissions you want for new sign-ups then, in settings, enable registration and set your role as the default.
