Raw Blame History

Collection Sharing

Static collection sharing without permissions filter using soft-links (Unix-only) is supported since storage type multifilesystem was implemented, see Wiki: Sharing Collections

With 3.7.0 major extension was implemented

  • added internal mapping with configuration stored in a database
  • added management API
  • WebUI extension using the management API

Sharing Implementation

Implemenation of sharing collections is done by using a database to lookup the URI and in case entry exists by mapping to target URI and replacing provided data on request and adjust if required data in response.

Permissions are filtered by provided Permissions.

Sharing Configuration

New section [sharing] controls sharing configuration, see DOCUMENTATION:Sharing for details

Sharing Configuration Store

Types of supported sharing configuration:

  • csv (>= 3.7.0)
  • files (>= 3.7.0)

Sharing Configuration Entry Data

  • ShareType: type of share
    • token: token-based share (do not require user authentication)
    • map: map-based share (requires user authentication)
  • PathOrToken: token or "virtual" collection, has to be unique (PRIMARY KEY)
  • PathMapped: target collection
  • Conversion: conversion method
  • Owner: owner of the share
  • User: user of the share
  • Permissions: effective permission of the share
  • EnabledByOwner: control by owner
  • EnabledByUser: control by user
  • HiddenByOwner: control by owner
  • HiddenByUser: control by user
  • TimestampCreated: unixtime of creation
  • TimestampUpdated: unixtime of last update
  • Properties: overlay properties (limited set whitelisted)
  • Actions: (reserved for future usage)

Enabled*: owner AND user have to enable a share to become usable

Hidden*: owner AND user have to disable a share to become visible in PROPFIND

Supported Conversions

  • none: no conversion
  • bday: auto-mapping on-the-fly a VADDRESSBOOK to a VCALENDAR of all entries containing a BDAY
    • Permissions enforced to read-only

Sharing Configuration Entry Storage

CSV

One CSV file containing one row per sharing config, separated by ; and containing header with columns from above.

If given, properties are stored in JSON format in CSV.

Files

File-based configuration store is using encoded PathOrToken as filename for each config. File contains the data stored as "dict" in binary Python "pickle" format (same is also used for item cache files).

Sharing Access

Sharing Access via Maps

Map-based sharing can be accessed as usual after authentication and authorization.

  • map is a standard sharing of one collection to another user

Permission Control

  • permit_create_map
    • supported rights permissions: Mm

Workflow

  • create map as owner
  • enable map as owner (can be combined with "create")
  • enable map as user (explicit required to avoid sudden available share)

In case share should be visible using PROPFIND

  • unhide map as owner (can be combined with "create")
  • unhide map as user (explicit required to avoid sudden visible share)

Sharing Access via Tokens

Token-based sharing can be accessed after retrieving the token via

Token-URI: /.token/<Token>

Note: requests to not enabled or not even defined tokens will resul tin 401 Not Authorized

Permission Control

  • permit_create_token
    • supported rights permissions: Tt

Workflow

  • create token as owner
  • enable token as owner (can be combined with "create")
  • handover URI with token to client

Sharing Configuration Management API

Sharing Configuration Management API version 1

Type: POST API

Base-URI: /.sharing/v1/<ShareType>/<Hook>

See also test cases in radicale/tests/test_sharing.py

  • C:calendar-description
  • ICAL:calendar-color
  • CR:addressbook-description
  • INF:addressbook-color
  • D:displayname

Properties Overlay Control Options

  • permit_properties_overlay
    • supported share permissions: Pp
  • enforce_properties_overlay
    • supported share permissions: Ee

Properties Overlay Example

Requirements

  • permit_properties_overlay = True

Virtual "bday" collection

Owner can create for itself or for particular user a virtual bday collection from an existing addressbook.

Examples

Preconditions:

  • Collection with type adressbook is existing
  • Config options enabled in section sharing:
    • collection_by_map
    • permit_create_map

Examples using API

  • Create as map
## Create sharing of type *map* with conversion *bday*
curl -u owner:$ownerpw -d "PathOrToken=/owner/bday-of-addressbook/" -d "PathMapped=/owner/addressbook/" -d "User=owner" -d "Conversion=bday" http://localhost:5232/.sharing/v1/map/create

## Enable
curl -u owner:$ownerpw -d "PathOrToken=/owner/bday-of-addressbook/" http://localhost:5232/.sharing/v1/bday/enable

## Unhide
curl -u owner:$ownerpw -d "PathOrToken=/owner/bday-of-addressbook/" http://localhost:5232/.sharing/v1/bday/unhide
  • Fetch map
## Fetch VCALENDAR auto-created from VADDRESSBOOK
curl -u owner:$ownerpw http://localhost:5232/owner/bday-of-addressbook/
BEGIN:VCALENDAR

END:VCALENDAR

Via WebUI an additional (virtual) calendar collection appears

  • Create as token
## Create sharing of type *token* with conversion *bday* (shown PathOrToken is an example)
curl -u owner:$ownerpw -d "Enabled=true" -d "Hidden=false" -d "PathMapped=/owner/addressbook/" -d "User=owner" -d "Conversion=bday" http://localhost:5232/.sharing/v1/token/create
