Groupfolder permission with circles

[Pisoko]

It would be greate to use groupfolder in combination with circles. So user can administrate a given groupfolder by theirself.

I hope you can implement that. Greets from Germany

Isn't there any interest that this is built in?

We have a great interest in adding circles instead of groups. We have a workaround of sharing the group folder to a user, and then that user share's it with circles. But it's hard to administrate and breaks sometimes.

Any news regarding this and #813 ?

Initial support added: see #2322 for details.

If interested in Advanced Permissions support, probably best to subscribe/vote on #813.

Hi, i don't see how users can manage Circles in Groupfolders, when they are not supposed to access admin area. I rekon circles should be considered as users and be added to a Groupfolder when the circle has been created by a membre of the group.. well let's take an example.

The admin creates groupfolders. For each groupfolder, one group of users is linked. Users can't access admin page for groupfolders but they can access the settings of the groupfolder and subfolders in the right menu of the Files app.

There, they need to be able to add a Circle that has been created by them to the list of settings of a folder in the right menu of Files.

Otherwise, I don't see the point of using Circles if it's to replace Groups. Circles should be used like users, and the way permissions are granted to them in the right panel of File app page.

Sorry if my expression is not clear.

How do you do with users administrating circles?
