Feature Request: Read-only mode

[jeremysmith1]

I think it would be very beneficial to allow a user to configure the board to a read-only mode when configuring routes. In the UI, the buttons that affect the state could be grayed out.

My team is using bull board for observability. We would like to open up its usage to a select group of users, but we cannot allow them to modify the state of bull queues. This is why I suggest having an additional configuration object that could be passed into 'setQueues()'.

So something like the following with readonly being an optional field, defaulting to false.

setQueues( [ new BullAdapter(someQueue) ], { readonly : true } )

Interesting idea, it can be done ;)

You can also make a simple middleware that blocks PUT requests and use it around the bull board app :)

Something like:

const app = require('express')()
const { router } = require('bull-board')

const blockPut = (req, res, next) => {
  if (req.method == "PUT") {
    res.status(403).send("Bull board is in read-only mode")
    return
  }
  next()
}
app.use('/admin/queues', blockPut, router)

Obviously, this is not the best UI, ideally we would also disable the links in UI, which is what this issue can be about :)

Wow, that was a quick turn around. Thanks @felixmosh
