    Hello everyone,

    I installed Etherpad today. When I opened it, I was logged in automatically, created a document, guests were able to join but without editing rights.

    So I followed the instructions and changed /app/data/settings.json:

    {
  "requireAuthentication": false,
  
  "users": {
    "admin": {
      // 1) "password" can be replaced with "hash" if you install ep_hash_auth
      // 2) please note that if password is null, the user will not be created
      "password": "changeme1",
      "is_admin": true
    },
    "user": {
      // 1) "password" can be replaced with "hash" if you install ep_hash_auth
      // 2) please note that if password is null, the user will not be created
      "password": "changeme1",
      "is_admin": false
    }
  }
}

    Unfortunately, it did not change a thing.

    Guests are not able to edit the document. 😞

      I can confirm the read-only toggle really doesn't change anything. Not sure where the bug lies, etherpad develoment has picked up recently again, so many things had changed/broken/fixed. Maybe just a bug or it requires some very specific settings.

        I'm looking for a solution to share editable pads with guests without requiring them to log in, and I came across ep_mypads https://www.npmjs.com/package/ep_mypads, but it doesn't work on Cloudron. As of today, Etherpad is unusable in shared pad mode on Cloudron, as shown in this thread. On Framapad, it works using the MyPads plugin. Do you think it would be possible to make Cloudron compatible with this plugin? Is there another solution? Thanks for your help!

          Poke @girish @nebulon Whenever you have a solution, I would be very interested as I’ve been asked about it several times. Thank you!

            Do you know why this plugin is not working? Are there any errors or are the auth provider plugins incompatible?

              Have you checked out the openid plugins readme, especially the section about guests yet? https://github.com/ether/ep_openid_connect?tab=readme-ov-file#interaction-with-the-ep_guest-plugin
