Make Cloudron groups accessible on LDAP

[yusf]

Still relevant.

[nebulon]

There was some more discussion on this happening at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/issues/69

Short answer, we won't add this for now as apps use user groups in too many different ways and a mapping will be very complex and confusing.

@nebulon Three years on has the situation/capacity changed? I was just looking at this in the context of Nextcloud.

Also, why is this marked as solved?

[nebulon]

@sam_uk I guess the "solved" badge is not ideal here, but there are no plans currently to expose groups still.

I moved this into Feature Requests . @nebulon is looking into if this is easy to implement.

[Sam_uk]

@girish great thanks, I'm looking into a whole third party LDAP solution to just impliment groups, so would be great if it could happen in Cloudron!

[nebulon]

@sam_uk it is still on my list, but I was sick the last few days and there is a lot of app-level/non-core-Cloudron support tickets these days, so progress on the platform is a bit slower.

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon hope you make a full recovery soon

I also can't help wondering if it might be time to get more people on board to help with all those support tickets? It's just you and @girish right now, right?

Are there any plans to engage/ employ anyone else to help?

[nebulon]

@jdaviescoates we are discussing options there. It is a bit more complex given that the current pricepoint does not realistically justify hiring support resources for such app related tickets. Afterall we are neither the experts on bugs our users hit within the apps nor do we really want to head into a pure support based business, which obviously would be in our case time-intense and thus requiring an entirely different price tag. Of course a broken app instance has no use to anyone, which is why we are prioritizing such tickets currently.

Either way I am recovered now, so that is good

[Sam_uk]

@nebulon Just wondering if you'd had a chance to look at this one yet?

[nebulon]

@sam_uk unfortunately it didn't make it into this release, but will be part of the next one.

[Sam_uk]

@nebulon Great stuff, glad it seem plausible in the medium term..
