What happened?

When a user's book list is not all of the books on a server, such as when a book is marked explicit, and that user has explicit books hidden, the tags, authors, and genere's still show up when they go to filter through books, as well as in the author list.

What did you expect to happen?

When a user has a limited selection of books, the Author's, Tag's and Genere's that they can filter should only be in the selection available to them.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. create a user without permission to access explicit content.
  2. go to the library tab
  3. in the filter dropdown, find the Tag, Genere, or Author that the explicit book is written by/ tagged with

Audiobookshelf version

v2.28.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?
