# Single Type Limited Access UX Experiments

Bookstack has some predefined roles, but roles can be created such that they have read access limited to:

- Books
- Chapters
- Pages

Interface for users with read permissions strictly limited to those types changes dynamically.

See: [https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/1171#issuecomment-446378261](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/1171#issuecomment-446378261)

[They](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/1171#issuecomment-446378261) do appear to all have access to the page set as the landing page.

#### Pages only interface

Pages only user:

- has the Books menu item
- can see the homepage
- maybe can't edit homepage? (~LP)
- can see other pages, (I don't believe there's a page that lists all pages ~LP)
