Share note to guests even if allowanonymous=false

[Nebukadneza]

Hi,

HackMD is a great tool, and I’m hosting it for myself and a few friends. I have allowanonymous=false and allowemailregister=false so that we can manually control the userbase. Setting allowanonymous=true makes guests able to create notes, which i want to forbid. However, having allowanonymous=false will remove the freely permission from the permission menu.

I think it is a legitimate usecase that only signed-in users can create a note, but guests cannot. When a signed-in user wants to share a note for a guest to edit, that should still be possible.

Thanks for your great tool nevertheless 👍

Looking at 5c7eb48 I suppose i could add a patch for this. Just checking if my idea is aligned with everyones views of the project:

• allowanonymous keeps its current semantics:
• • disables the „new guest note“ function on the startpage
• • removes the freely option
• add option: allowanonymousedits
• • only checked if ! allowanonymous
• • keeps allowanonymous from removing the freely option

Does this sound somewhat reasonable?

Best & Thanks

Agreed. 👍 Sounds like a plan!
