Research direction

Start by tracing how my.comics.org handles the two existing collection privacy settings: private access requiring the owner's credentials and public viewing. Determine how a collection-level password could allow read access without granting permission to change the collection. Done means a collection owner can share read access with password holders while keeping the collection non-public.

Description

enhancement mycomics

Collections in my.comics.org currently have two privacy settings. Either they are private and you need to use the user's username and password to view them (and can change them), or they are public and anyone can view them.

I'd like to be able to set a password for read access to a collection. So I can share my want list with a group of people but not have it 100% public. I realize that the chance of someone accidentally figuring out the reference number of my collection is unlikely, but it would be nice to be able to have some control over who views it.
