Is it possible to install a "passive" elog mirror? We want to allow members of another institute to browse our logbook, but the connection is rather slow. The idea is now to set up an elog mirror at their site for faster access. Still, we should be the only ones who can add and edit the entries, so the update mechanism needs to be restricted in one direction. Is this possible at all? I didn't find any clues on that in the documentation ...

This is not implemented directly, but you can achieve it in several ways:

In the remote logbook, prohibit any modifications. You can do that with the Menu commands = ... option, where you just remove New, Edit, Reply and Duplicate.
Do not allow public write access, but public read access. The remote logbook server can read but not write. This requires a guest access, see the manual.
Create a special user, let's call it "mirroruser". Use this user to log in from the remote elog server by using the command Mirror user = mirroruser. Now restrict the right of this user via
```
Deny New = mirroruser
Deny Edit = mirroruser
Deny Reply = mirroruser
Deny Duplicate = mirroruser
```
