Describe the feature you'd like

Option for books to inherit permission from the shelf they are on.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Users do not have to remember to copy permissions to books, when creating a new one.

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

Users can manually copy permissions from the shelf by editing the permissions of the shelf and copying to the books.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

3 months to 1 year

Additional context

No response

Thanks @theme1256, but I feel this is already covered by existing issue #4899 so I'm going to close this off as a duplicate.
