Description

On libraries, it would be useful to have a setting to scope public read to the organisation. The desired behaviour when this hypothetical "organisation public read" setting toggled on would be:

  • any user with studio access to a course within the same organisation as the library can view the library
  • users without studio access to any course in the same organisation cannot view the library

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the library visibility and organisation studio-access authorization paths, then determine where the proposed setting belongs. Done means users with studio access to a course in the library’s organisation can view it, while other users cannot.
