Redirect to view if permission failed on edit

[cod3monk]

Describe the feature you'd like

When a user liks on an edit link to a page (e.g., some one sent it to the user), but does not have permission to edit it. Redirect to the public view of that page, if the permissions permit, while still presenting the user with the error message.

Currently the user is redirected to the home view, unable to find the page without self-interperting the slug in the URL.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

We sometimes have users that copy a link while in edit view and expect other to be able to view the page.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

nope

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

Thanks for the suggestion @cod3monk, sounds like a nice little UX improvement so have assigned to the next feature release.

Implementation note: We'll need to only redirect if we first confirm the user has view permission, otherwise this could be abused as a check for existence of non-permitted content.

This has now been added in 454b152, and will be part of the next feature release.
Thanks again @cod3monk!
