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?

Describe the feature you'd like
Hello! I was curious if it would be possible to add an independent guest user role with additional permissions based on which IP address the guest is accessing the wiki database from. We were hoping to allow users on our local network to access the application's content without authentication, while still having a login barrier in place for public non-local requests.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
A more comprehensive feature set.
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
Not that I know of.
Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?
How long have you been using BookStack?
1 to 5 years
Additional context
No response

Hi @meepmeep22, Thanks for the request.
This would not be something I'd look to add to the core project, due to the specific nature of the request, lack of demand and the cost of maintaining authentication options.
We do however provide extension options, which may help here, via the logical theme system - Video Guide.
Using this you could hook into the
WEB_MIDDLEWARE_BEFOREevent then, if the user is not authenticated but coming from a specific IP address, authenticate them as a chosen existing user account.Let me know if you'd need additional guidance in setting this up if desired.

Since there's been no follow-up I'm going to close this. If you need further assistance with the above feel free to still comment here.

This is absolutely something which we'd really like too. The usecase is hosting medical guidelines - would be great for intranet users to be able to access them without password, keeping things locked down for external users.

@ssddanbrown Hello, Thanks for building BookStack.
Just open the same issue and them saw this.
It can be/is very critical option in my office. so, please tell me how to set it up or is there any chance it might find it's way into future builds?
@ssddanbrown commented on GitHub (May 29, 2022):
Probably not, as per my reasoning above, especially so with the added granularity in your request.
I'll re-purpose your fresher issue to request an example, and I'll try to come back to it soon.

Hey All,
I've been able to secure development approval from my company to create this feature, and have created a fork of the project in which I will be implementing the functionality myself for our own internal use.

An example of achieving the above, using the logical theme system as suggested above, can be seen here:
