sharing calendar or adressbook does not work
my rights file looks like this:
[auread]
user: .+
collection: .*
permissions: Rr
[chris]
user: chris
collection: .*
permissions: RrWw
[admin]
user: admin
collection: .*
permissions: RrWw
this is what the log says:

what am I doing wrong? I cannot see anything in the client except my own calendar as chris. I want to be able to see everything from admin, too.
There might be an easier way by now. But last time I checked (a few years ago), the easiest way for this kind of static sharing of calendars was to create symlinks in the filesystem. Let's take the following scenario: User1 has two calendars, one should be private and one should be shared with User2. Then the file structure could look as follows:
├── collection-root
│ ├── User2
│ │ └── a53bae77-a862-4a9e-a426-8a05bf0d6711 -> ../User1/a53bae77-a862-4a9e-a426-8a05bf0d6711
│ └── User1
│ ├── a53bae77-a862-4a9e-a426-8a05bf0d6711
│ └── c39545d2-e540-7e6f-7cff-af992c350212
└── .Radicale.lock
and the config is the one from https://radicale.org/3.0.html#documentation/authentication-and-rights without changes:
# Allow reading root collection for authenticated users
[root]
user: .+
collection:
permissions: R
# Allow reading and writing principal collection (same as user name)
[principal]
user: .+
collection: {user}
permissions: RW
# Allow reading and writing calendars and address books that are direct
# children of the principal collection
[calendars]
user: .+
collection: {user}/[^/]+
permissions: rw
Such a setup works really well for me and my wife. But it would be interesting to know if there are less 'hacky' ways nowadays.
Maybe it's obvious but, for the "hack" to work , make sure that the symbolinc link is owned by the user and group that runs radicale. In my case it is radicale so:
sudo ln -s /data/collections/collection-root/<user_1>/<collection_to_share>/ /data/collections/collection-root/<user_2>/<collection_to_share>
sudo chown -h radicale:radicale /data/collections/collection-root/<user_2>/<collection_to_share>
does the trick.
You can use this script (to run as root) to open a shell on the radicale folder with the correct user. That way you can create files and folders and the permissions will be correct.
#!/bin/sh
cd /var/lib/radicale
cd collections
exec su -s "$SHELL" radicale
If I, as user1, symlink a calendar into the folder for user2, should that show up in the webui when user2 signs in? I'm trying to troubleshoot, I've created a symlink and my permissions appear to be correct, but I'm not able to access the calendar as user2.
This is something I'm trying to wrap my head around. My Partner and I happily use this to sync Calendars, Contacts & Tasks, but we have yet to figure out how to easily share events in particular to each other as we did when using the Google-verse. Will give the Symlinking a try but a moderately simpler method would be grand!
Hello I just want to also vote for a simpler method. Giving the symlink a try though.
If I, as user1, symlink a calendar into the folder for user2, should that show up in the webui when user2 signs in? I'm trying to troubleshoot, I've created a symlink and my permissions appear to be correct, but I'm not able to access the calendar as user2.
I have the same issue: https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale/issues/696#issuecomment-1019503253. Symlinked calendar is not showing up in web ui when logging in as user2, and it's not available in my local CalDav client (Apple Calendar).
