Manage permissions for tagging (creating tags) #1529
Reference in New Issue
Block a user
Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Originally created by @ghost on GitHub (Feb 11, 2020).
Describe the feature you'd like
The ability to restrict the permissions of creating new tags for certain users.
I'd like to be able to create tags (as administrator) which then will be shown in the dropdown menu when setting tags for all the normal users. While the normal users should be unable to create/edit tags and just should be able to set the tags created by the administrator to the pages when necessary.
Describe the benefits this feature would bring to BookStack users
It would make tag managing a lot easier, since there won't be anyone who creates a tag (written in another way) for an already existing tag (for example: Administrator creates tag "PowerShell", user Y then doesn't look at the listed tags from the dropdown menu and creates "Power Shell" or "PS" and tadaaa, you got inconsistent tagging, that could have been easily prevented by restricting tag creation to certain users.

This would be an excellent yet simple feature.
It removes the issue of just any user creating duplicate tags!
By the way guys, this piece of software is amazing! 😍😍😍

I concur, this would be a very nice feature to have.
In my experience, tags tend to go wild after some time if users are free to set them as they wish.
In the end they're not used anymore and/or become meaningless.

Agree very much with what was said above; having a system here would prevent every user from creating tags willy-nilly and making a complete mess of things.
Having per-shelf or per-book tags could be nice, but for starters even just being able to only permit some users to create new tags would be extremely beneficial!

Is there a plan to add this feature in the future? I also think this is something really beneficial. Especially if you are the admin and need to take care of your co-workers just adding all variations of one and the same tag :-D
