Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Right now, the Admin can only set non-admin users to delete files without distinguishing between podcast files and audiobook files. By creating separate permissions for both kinds of files, a user can delete files in certain environments.

Why would this be helpful?

Personally, I setup server programs as admin, but create a regular user for my own use, this protects me from accidentally deleting audiobooks, but I would like the ability to manage podcasts without logging into the Admin account.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

It would look like another radio selector. But it would have one for audiobooks and one for podcasts.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.17.1
