How to give read only access to users?

[Roshan]

Hi,

Can anyone please help me to create session for pad's read only link?

I follow following steps to create session for etherpad edit link:
1. Set "requireSession" : true in setting.json
2. Create group pad using 'createGroupPad' method. (http://etherpad.org/doc/v1.2.10/#index_creategrouppad_groupid_padname_text)
3. Then create session using 'createSession' method and set in sessionID cookie. (http://etherpad.org/doc/v1.2.10/#index_createsession_groupid_authorid_validuntil)
4. Open actual links, then it works fine.

But I don't know how to create session for pad's read only link and gives read only access to user.

Thanks,
Roshan

Hi! Rosban,

When I read the doc (http://etherpad.org/doc/v1.3.0/#index_overview) I understand the padID must start with a "r." to a read-only session, and a "g." to a normal session.

Did you already try this?

The doc is on clear. I think a case is missing in the diagram.

Hope I helped You.

Ben.
