Restrict app to groups

[szaimen]

I've searched for existing issues, but didn't found one, hence I opened this one.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hey, I would like to restrict some users to not be able to use the maps app.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to be able to restrict the maps app to specific groups without using the guests app.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently no idea

Additional context Here is a screenshot for the calendar app:

There was a comparable problem with the contacts app. Maybe you could use the same fix for the maps app? https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/pull/1938 https://github.com/nextcloud/contacts/issues/1937

Alternatively, the photos app is capable of requesting all files without having the filesystem type in its appinfo.xml https://github.com/nextcloud/photos/blob/master/appinfo/info.xml

Maybe @eneiluj has an idea how to implement this? :)

not sure if this is still valid or not https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/11.0/developer_manual/app/info.html#types so might be related to types section in appinfo/info.xml I tested in my test nextcloud instance the following:

1. disabled maps
2. removed the following lines in maps/appinfo/info.xml <types> <filesystem/> </types>
3. enabled maps

as a result I was able to limit maps to groups as far as I can see maps is still working as expected and is only available for users of testgroup. However I have not really any knowledge about the reason and result of the defined filesystem type in info.xml and also not knowledge about possible consequences if removing this type. I only tested it due to curiosity and wanted to share this observation.

@eneiluj do you know if that has any bad side effects?

According to latest documentation for info.xml https://nextcloudappstore.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer.html#info-xml seams not to be a valid xml-elements!

I can confirm that this is broken when installing the plugin on NextCloud 24 and that the fix above works to re-enable Group Restrictions.

I can't say if it's a a security issue, but it still works for me on a NC 27.0.1, thanks a lot !

Its not a security issue, afaik the issue is that if you do this then the background processing of data (image GPS data, GPS tracks etc.) won't be done.
