I would take the liberty to +1 this for a similar scenario: Not only is granularity in the integrated applications per account impossible, as Jamie reports, but also the other way round: It's impossible to restrict the permission set for a single account. For example, adding a Google account includes access to Gmail, GDocs, Google+, Youtube, Picasa. What if I want to restrict where my Google account data gets used? For using google talk with Empathy, I had to authorize a Google account because the Jabber account I used for previously without problem refuses to connect in 12.10 (like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1069531/comments/15). I have no interest though in other parts of my google account being integrated in Ubuntu (e.g. Youtube). I'm not the only one with this gripe (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1069531/comments/16).
I think this fits in this bug report. If not tell me, and I'll submit a separate one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to account-plugins in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1044055 Title: online-accounts does not allow a way to disable a particular application Status in Online Accounts: GNOME Control Center: Triaged Status in “account-plugins” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Forgive me if online-accounts is not the right place to file this. If I setup my Facebook account with online-accounts, I see that it automatically integrates Shotwell, Empathy and Gwibber access. However, I only want Gwibber to have access to the facebook account, and not Empathy (or Shotwell), I am not currently able to deselect Empathy from the list of integrated applications. While this is a wishlist bug, I consider it an important one because having online accounts be 'all or nothing' will probably mean some people will choose 'nothing'. It is also a usability issue because Empathy also doesn't allow me to logout out of facebook so it shows that I am available for chat on Facebook during my work hours. The only way to prevent this is to close empathy altogether, but if I use non-facebook accounts in Empathy for work, I am stuck.
