Use other groupnames

[robake1]

We want to change the default groups used for Workspace (GeneralManager & WorkspacesManagers) to groups we have in Nextcloud that is created by us (synced in through LDAP).

Is it possible to change the groups ? , when we in the Group Folders admin options set our own groups and remove GeneralManager & WorkspaceManagers we get a HTTP 403 when accesing the Workspace app.

We are using Workspace 3.0.3 on Nextcloud 27.02 and in the process of upgrading to Nextcloud 27.1.1.

Hi @robake1 👋

Unfortunately, you cannot use groups other than GeneralManager and WorkspacesManagers. The workspace app uses these groups strongly.

We have to these groups in your instance. So, please, disable and enable the workspace to recreate these 2 groups.

If it helps you, we prepare an import users system for the next major release of the Workspace : #909

@dorianne-arawa , can you take account this issue ?

Hi @robake1

Thank you for your question.
Indeed, the code is currently written in such a way as to work with the "GeneralManager" and "WorkspacesManagers" groups.

An evolution (indicated by @zak39 ) is currently being developed to allow existing local Nextcloud groups or LDAP groups to be connected to a Workspace. However, this will not replace the "U-workspace" and "WM-workspace" groups, which manage the role of each user in a workspace. I don't think it will fully meet your need, if that is to completely replace the "WM-workspace" group with an LDAP group.
A potential development, which is not currently underway, would allow these two groups to be renamed "WM-workspace" and "U-workspace" by default. But, like the evolution in progress, this doesn't quite meet your needs.

If you're interested in this point, don't hesitate to contact us via our "www.arawa.fr/contact" contact form. We'll be happy to discuss it in more detail.

Have a nice day!
