Privacy enhancements for contacts menu #5107

@jimbowarrior you have the same behavior?

cc @nextcloud/ldap @nextcloud/sharing

I have the same issue, into search contacts field privacy is respected. I can show only users in my group.
Into shared section, when I click on "sharing" I can see all users and share with users not in my group.
And yes, I marked "Restrict users to only share with users in their groups"
But ! in a nextcloud 12 fresh install upgraded to 12.0.3 and 12.0.4 I have no issue.
I have this issue in another nextcloud migrate from owncloud 10 > nextcloud 10 > nextcloud 12
Regarding nextcloud server with this issues, there is another strange things, some users can see only users in their groups, but some others users can see every body. These others users belong to only one and same group.
I re created new users and new groups, same issue

Privacy issues with the contactsmenu were fixed in 12.0.4 with https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/6554

@blizzz yes the contacts menu seems to play nice but the sharee auto completion not...

exactly !!!

I would say it leaks only ldap users in share dialog. But i can check this tomorrow at work...

@rullzer why, that sounds something broke in file_sharing's sharee endpoint. Which is surprising, since sharing actually brought in those settings. I refactored it, but only for 13. Best guess without looking deeper: side effect of #5428?

I don't know why... but maybe... aaah or... it is a side effect of https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/7456 not being in yet.

I'll try to spin up my ldap instance tomorrow again.

I'm not using LDAP (just standard users created in the Nextcloud UI) and I'm facing the same issue.

me too

Can some admin mention this current issue in https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/5107 so that we can find it? Thanks!

I don't know why... but maybe... aaah or... it is a side effect of #7456 not being in yet.

I really really really hope not so :D and heavily doubt it.

I can confirm it happens with LDAP users, but not with local ones. On master. Neet to continue debugging later.

@blizzz if the LDAP users are having an e-mail address and the locals not it may be solved by #7490

I'm facing to this bug with out LDAP users

@LEDfan that's a good hint! It might be, because the user fetcher filtered properly.

@LEDfan somehow I missed your PR previously, but that's fixing it! Thanks! :)

Fixed in #7490

Just updated my instance to nextcloud 13 and the Contact menu still leaks LDAP users. Very weird as my other instance does not do that. Both of them have autocompletion off. No matter if shareapi_allow_share_dialog_user_enumeration is set to yes or no. I noticed the same behaviour with nc 12.05 but thought updating to nc13 will solve it.

Could someone point me in the direction to debug it? @MorrisJobke sorry for calling, but wanted to be sure I'm heard. It's quite crutial issue for me atm.

Please open a new ticket and only refer to this one

Is it fixed somehow?..
