how can I use the Cloudron Groups in Nextcloud?

[simon]

I run Nextcloud via the Cloudron user administration. User integration works fine, but I can't access the cloudron groups in Nextcloud. Does anyone know a solution?

Currently there is no integration between Cloudron groups and groups inside an app. I agree that this is a good feature to have though.

@girish Particularly for Nextcloud that would be great. Apparently Nextcloud is able to sync LDAP groups, are Cloudron groups not LDAP?

Yes, Cloudron groups are not in LDAP currently. Currently, if you want to restrict to a group, you can do this already. But if you want groups to sync, that's not implemented. Feel free to open up a feature request to implement this and we can guage the interest.

Is there any way to do this yet?

@avatar1024 I'm wondering how you do your Nextcloud onboarding? I've got a e.g a shared folder on my Nextcloud for West Dorset Commons, and a Cloudron Group called west-dorset-commons...

At present, before I can share the WDC folder with WDC members, they first need to login to the Nextcloud (because until they do it doesn't know they exist, even though they already exist on Cloudron).

Ideally anyone on the Cloudron who is in the west-dorset-commons Cloudron group would automatically also have access to the West Dorset Commons folder within Nextcloud - has anyone found a way to do that yet?

Yes I've got that working. I can't write now but I'll get back to you shortly.
