Allow editing on publicly shared calendars

[enoch85]

Public calendar links are great, but would be even better if there was a possibility for the external (guest) user to add items and edit the calendar in the same way as with files and folders.

This would be useful for example a collaborative booking calendar, where customers could see availible times and choose a time to book. (Add but not delete) Or if you and a friend would like to collaborate on a schedule for a vacation, or whatever. (Full permissions)

Idk if it's possible, but would it be doable to generate several public links to the same calendar? In that case give full permissions, send a temporary generated link to 1 external user that expires in lets say 15 minutes, where that user only can edit/delete his/her own stuff but add on all the available times.

It would also be nice to password protect public calendars.

What do you think @georgehrke and others?

That would be indeed a really handy feature!

But it should be reported here: https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar

[georgehrke]

@xshadow No, it should not. This repo is absolutely right

[Doctor-Who]

It will be great instead of create many account for that.

@georgehrke May I ask if this is on the todo list soon?

[georgehrke]

@enoch85 No, but as always: Pull-requests are welcome!

It's not right now.

In that case give full permissions, send a temporary generated link to 1 external user that expires in lets say 15 minutes, where that user only can edit/delete his/her own stuff but add on all the available times.
It would also be nice to password protect public calendars.

So basically nearly the same options (and possibly interface) for sharing calendars as for Files? We might have to extend the oc_dav_shares table to something more like oc_share (not sure if something like oc_share_external would be needed). Would be useful for federated calendars as well.

This feature isn't available in any other calendar provider i know of, and could potentially fill-in a niche nobody's filling right now.
I'd be willing to put a bounty on this feature if that could help bringing light to it.

EDIT: since there is no real trustworthy platform for posting fiat currency bounties on issues, you'll have to take my word for it: if this issue gets adressed and solved you'll get all my gratitude ❤️ and a once-off donation of 20$ or so through Liberapay.

@georgehrke Are there any security concerns on the developer side regarding the implementation of this enhancement?
