Describe the feature you'd like

The feature to copy shelves' permissions to books are already exist. It's useful to had it in book section and copy it's permissions to sub categories like shelves and pages.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

This would be a time saving feature. In a situation when admin wants to share just a book with too many shelves and pages to certain roles, it could be possible to copy all permissions to all the assets entirely.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Yes, but it would be very time consuming to it for each document one by one.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?
