Hello,

It is my understanding that I (as a network administrator) can prevent users from creating and cloning books, but if I prevent this, is there a workflow where they can request that I do so for them? Or is this a workflow I set up outside of Pressbooks?

Thank you!

Hi @alexahight this is a good question. This would be a workflow set up outside Pressbooks – we don’t have a form built into the interface for users without book creation and cloning permissions to submit requests for network managers to create or clone books on their behalf.
