LOCK does not disable Friend association

Open jpmens opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

When OwnTracks (16.1.3) on iOS is locked via an OTRC import ("locked" : true), it is still possible for a user to associate a contact from the device's address book with an OwnTracks topic.

Case in point is an elderly user who has a device which should be locked (so as to not be able to change settings), but this user also manages to rename random entries in Friends list, causing a lot of confusion. As an example, Jane Jolie, now in Hamburg, is suddenly called Fritz Friendly, and the OwnTracks user is surprised that their old friend Fritz is in Hamburg. 😀

I'm wondering whether we ought to include locking the contact association in the LOCK feature, seeing as it is possible to provision a CARD via MQTT.

Assuming a savvy user who is able to provision a device for someone, I don't think disabling contact association would be a big limitation.

Maybe we could use more than a boolean:

Feature Request : Lock the Map-Settings if requested as well (i.e. Significant Move, Standard-Map) because users (elderly people) tend to klick around not knowing what they do.
