Description

What feature do you want to see added?

I want to allow copying of circuits in a "showcase" world without giving players rights to the region. Currently, however, you can only select and copy regions with FAWE if you have region rights. Since I attach great importance to security, I definitely don't want to add people to the WorldGuard region and bypass rights are of course not a good idea.

In the end, I want to allow players to copy on a public server without anything else happening to the world. No build rights, no brush rights, etc. It has to be absolutely secure.

The easiest solution could be a change to FAWE with a config option for "read-only" in the limits sections. This could also be supported by a permission (e.g. worldedit.copy.bypass) that allows a player to copy everything.

Are there any alternatives?

Alternative: a custom plugin that includes a command for selecting and copying and gives the clipboard to the players via FAWE API.

Anything else?

The solution must be safe. That is the most important thing.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the limits configuration and the region-rights checks used for FAWE selection and copying; completion would require a precisely defined read-only behavior that permits safe copying without build or brush rights, with coverage for the security-sensitive cases.
