Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Currently it seems to me it is not possible to allow a "regular" aka non-admin user to add a new podcast. This feature only shows up for admin users.

I would like to enable some users to add new podcasts themselves. But I can't find any way to do this in the GUI nor in the documentation.

I would see a simple dis/-enable switch as for all the other already existing.

Why would this be helpful?

Allowing this on a per user basis will prevent me from giving all admin rights away to otherwise regular useres.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

2.19.5

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Feature not existing. Need to give admin rights to regular users to achieve goal.

Thanks @Vito0912 for pointing that out. I did not find these when searching.

There they are referring to another issue, but is targets the app itself #225. And one to point to #507 which is closed but targets only to admin users.
