Yunohost users and groups not displayed in the nextcloud contacts app

adlmr · January 15, 2022, 1:17pm

Bonjour à tous,

ma question porte sur l’affichage des utilisateurs et des groupes dans l’application contacts de nextcloud.
Les utilisateurs yunohost sont bien affichés dans le menu en haut à droite (mais pas les groupes yunohost) (capture 1).
Les utilisateurs et les groupes sont bien affichés dans le menu partager sur un fichier ou un dossier (capture 2)
Cependant, l’application “contacts” de nextcloud affiche “il n’y a aucun contact pour l’instant”. Je ne vois pas les groupes non plus (capture 3).

Hi everyone,

my question is about the display of users and groups in the contacts application of nextcloud.
Yunohost users are well displayed in the top right menu (but not the yunohost groups) (capture 1).
Yunohost ssers and groups are well displayed in the share menu on a file or folder (capture 2)
However, the “contacts” application of nextcloud shows “there are no contacts at the moment”. I don’t see groups either (capture 3).

Yunohost 4.3.5 (stable)
Nextcloud 22.2.3
PHP 7.3.31

enhancement 3. to review

In organizations it is quite common that you want to have a shared address book …with the contact data of all your colleagues. Today you can achieve this with a address book created within the contacts app and shared with all others. But this has some issues: 1. If you share it read-only someone has to be in charge to keep it up to date 2. If you share it read-write so that everyone can add their own contact data people have to maintain their information twice, once in "contacts" and once in the personal settings. 3. If you share it read-write you risk that people delete contacts by accident, add contacts which doesn't belong to the address book, etc All information from the personal settings are already written to a carddav system address book. So technically we already have everything we need in the back-end. The idea is to expose it to the contacts app for all users and via carddav in a read-only mode. This way: 1. Every time someone updates their personal settings or if they are updated in a central user management like LDAP the address book will be updated as well. 2. People don't have to maintain their information in multiple places 3. You don't risk that people delete contacts by accident or add personal contacts which doesn't belong to the address book. Of course there should be a Admin switch to enable/disable this behavior. In most organizations this will be quite useful but of course a shared hoster for example doesn't want to present all users in a address book to all the other users (Although keep in mind that they do it already though the "people menu" which can not be disabled so the feature suggested here has no additional impact on the users privacy).

The contact app is currently used to manage external contacts of an organization.
