Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/prasathmani/tinyfilemanager/issues/1060

In config.php we can set $use_auth = false; or $use_auth = true; .
When set to "false" everybody has full rights.

but our need would be a little bit finer grained, as follows:

without authentication everybody can only read,
only admin needs athentication
Please, is there a way to set config.php in this way?

@prasathmani
Thank you for prompt answer.

set $use_auth = false; and $global_readonly = true;

It doesn't work as expected:

The good point: without authentication everybody can only read,
The bad point: admin cannot log and consequently he can only read, while I would like him to get all the rights

Thank you,
This is what I did in the meantime. It works, but I thought there would be a simpler way.
