Hi,
I've been struggling to resolve an issue with address books shared as
read-only in SOGo accessed through Thunderbird (with
connector&integrator). When a user tries to modify an existing list of
contacts or a contact in the read-only address book (despite warning him
not to do so...), it breaks the sync of that list.
As per the comments on
https://sogo.nu/bugs/print_bug_page.php?bug_id=2714, I've come to
realise when getting a 403 result on uploading a vcf/vlf to SOGo, the
card is kept as it is, and the change is not dropped. It'll keep trying
to sync the change despite not being allowed to. There is indeed a
notification that the sync failed in the bottom right corner, but not
why nor on what contact/list it failed. (the user is not able to know
how to drop the change, and the only way to correct it is to unsubscribe
from the address book)
The result is that the contact or list of contacts is not synced anymore
(and that's an issue for a shared address read-only book that is
expected to be up to date).
Is there a way to make the address book truly read-only on the
Thunderbird side, either by forbidding changes in the address book, or
by dropping them in case of a sync error (instead of retrying those) ?
Best regards,
