Describe the issue

I want to have an account I can safely share publicly but currently there seems to be no way to do that. I thought I could use the 'guest' account type but it seems to function exactly the same as a regular user. The 'guest' account type should not be able to change its own password as there is no purpose in sharing it publicly if anybody could just lock it by changing the password.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Log in as root.
  2. Go to Settings -> Users.
  3. Click + and add a new account.
  • Username: guest
  • Password: guest
  • Account Type: guest
  1. Log out from root and log in with guest:.
  2. Open the Account page
  3. Change the password to guest2
  4. Log out and try to log in with guest:guest again

The guest account has been locked by changing the password.

Audiobookshelf version

v2.0.7

How are you running audiobookshelf?
