I believe the original intention behind Group Library Docs was to allow any group member to make modifications to a Doc. However the use case brought up in Keeping about limiting doc edit access to group admins and moderators makes sense.

If we want to implement this, we would need to make some changes to the Group Library and to the buddypress-docs-in-group plugin to show some additional doc options. Boone, in vanilla BuddyPress Docs, it is possible to set the access control for each group's document:

However the buddypress-docs-in-group plugin removes the "Access" controls when creating or editing a group doc: https://github.com/boonebgorges/buddypress-docs-in-group/blob/ea686cde3da444366a2915c2886ce46e5f36503d/includes/bpdig.php#L194

Removing the Access section was probably done to simplify doc access controls within the group, but would it make sense to bring the Access block back, but adding each group membership level as an additional option? Or perhaps these access controls could be configured at the group level under a group's "Manage > Group Settings" section as well?

As it pertains to the Group Library, Group Library outputs its own version of BuddyPress Docs settings -- https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac-group-library/blob/master/assets/js/app/components/Forms/BpDocForm.vue -- which would need to be modified if we wanted to add back the Access section at the individual doc level.
