feat: Implement handling for lock managers who can unlock files

Open juliusknorr opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Fixes https://github.com/nextcloud/files_lock/issues/52

  • Allow unlock for
    • The file owner
    • Users who have permissions to manage ACL on groupfolders
      • [ ] Needs upstream fix and testing as groupfolders on master branch currently does not fetch the webdav properties
    • A allow list for a dedicated group of users who are considered to be allowed to manually remove a lock
      • [ ] Needs a UI to set this

Hi @juliushaertl, Will your PR :

  • give more rights to unlock files to the mentioned users
  • add an admin page (in settings) to list locked files, with an unlock button for each remaining locked file Thanks by advance

Hi. Very very good idea, if possible see and take into account the synchronization client (Nextcloud Desktop https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop) which automatically locks and unlocks Office files (Word/Excel/Powerpoint) Thanks

Hi Do you have any idea when the rest of this PR will be implemented? Now, the file owner can force the unlocking resulting from a client, when will the possibility for an admin or even better a delegation of power be available so that we can unlock for others? Thanks
