Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1381

Type

  • Request modification of existing behavior or design

What is the problem that your feature request solves

Describe the ideal specific solution you'd want, and whether it fits into any broader scope of changes

Admin page option: Disable/enable guests from making a snapshot

What hacks or alternative solutions have you tried to solve the problem?

I haven't found any. I thought about trying to modify the code, but it seems risky, as I'm not an expert.

How badly do you want this new feature?

  • It's an urgent deal-breaker, I can't live without it
    I think this is a security risk.

  • I like ArchiveBox so far / would recommend it to a friend
    I like this tool, and its very impressive. I'm not sure that I have the skill to help with this feature, but I think its very important.

archivebox config --set PUBLIC_ADD_VIEW=False

Thank you. I apologize. I looked around for this, but must have not had the right search terms.
