Describe the issue

Issue: type 'user' can't use e-reader.

I've installed the latest version today. I have enabled the Experimental features and can now read e-books.
I've also created a user (of the type 'user') for a friend. That account still just sees this warning:

image

The root still sees the feature as enabled; and the standard user can't access Settings to change anything. It seems as if root sets the site-wide config, which then doesn't take effect for the other user.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Log in as root
  2. Go to Settings
  3. Enable Experimental features
  4. Log in as someone else (type: 'user')

Audiobookshelf version

v2.0.15

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

Experimental features is actually only stored locally on your device, so it doesn't impact anyone else on the server.

I think for now I prefer experimental features toggle stays that way, so in this case I'm thinking we should have a separate server setting for "Enable experimental e-reader" or something like that.

@skyzuma commented on GitHub (May 21, 2022):

The best way is, to hide the ebook library (and / or any other experimental functions) to other users, that's only root (or the user that can enable experimental) can see / use this. I got many questions from my users: why I can't use this library, plz activate experimental.

How? Maybe a user setting like 'can use experimental'

OR

Hide experimental completly until it goes out of this state
