-This tool provides a way to export [Bookstack](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack) pages and their content (_text, images, metadata, etc._) into a relational parent-child layout locally with an option to push to remote object storage locations. See [Backup Behavior](#backup-behavior) section for more details on how pages are organized.
+This tool provides a way to export [Bookstack](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack) pages and their content (_text, images, attachments, metadata, etc._) into a relational parent-child layout locally with an option to push to remote object storage locations. See [Backup Behavior](#backup-behavior) section for more details on how pages are organized. Image and attachment links can also be modified in markdown exports to point to local exported paths.
 
 This small project was mainly created to run as a cron job in k8s but works anywhere. This tool allows me to export my docs in markdown, or other formats like pdf. I use Bookstack's markdown editor as default instead of WYSIWYG editor and this makes my notes portable anywhere even if offline.

+#### Permissions
+**Note visibility of pages is based on user**, so use a user that has read access to pages and content you want to back up. *The role assigned to the user* should have the additional permissions for target pages and their content:
+- `read` for all images and attachments
+  - For most users this may already be set - may be required to be set depending on storage option used
+- `Export Content` (This can be found in `Edit Role --> System Permissions`)
+  - For most users this may already set - may be required to be set if using custom roles
+  - If not set, you may see page contents showing as a HTML login page, as reported in this [issue](https://github.com/homeylab/bookstack-file-exporter/issues/35)
 
+#### Token Authentication
