Christophe - That's the general idea. I'm trying to figure out how to keep these two separate, but together for sharing without causing confusion for users and admins like Dirk. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Feb 2, 2012 at 3:09 AM, Dirk Kastens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dirk.kastens@uni-osnabrueck.de" target="_blank">dirk.kastens@uni-osnabrueck.de</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The current implementation of groups in ownCloud is only used for<br>
checking admin status and only admins can create/modify groups. In terms<br>
of sharing this is alright for enterprise, but it isn't ideal for a<br>
normal user who may want to group people together for quick sharing on a<br>
reoccuring basis. In my mind this is a different definition of groups<br>
and so it may break off from the group backend. For the future of<br>
sharing in ownCloud I envision sharing becoming more focused on a user's<br>
contacts rather than users of the same ownCloud instance. I'm still<br>
formulating these changes in my head.<br>

I see. We have many workgroups at university that use samba shares for collaboration. A share can be accessed by the members of a posixgroup. And the admin of the workgroup can manage his posixgroup. I thought of owncloud as an alternative to the samba shares.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
