Thank you for opening a PR !
However, it looks like the new implementation does not actually prevent the user from sending write commands to the socket.io handler. Users can actually write to the board even with a simple viewer token, the menu is just hidden in the ui

This does not seem to be linked to the current PR. You can open a distinct pr to update dependencies

you don't want to override that. keep the value from the query

I've converted the PR to a draft, feel free to pass it back to "ready for review" when you want me to look at it again |
I've made an update to our whiteboard application that adds a new "viewer" permission to the JWT payload. This update will allow us to restrict users to only viewing the whiteboard, without giving them editing capabilities.
