Summary0002767: Users should be able to prevent being invited to appointments
Description

Some of our users request being able to forbid all invitations to appointments, as only their secretariat should be able to make appointments. This includes:

  • Not being able to select those users when creating meetings with appointments, with a meaningful error message
  • If an invitation arrives anyway (eg. by external users) it should be declined automatically

A whitelist of allowed event organizers would be nice to have in addition.

Additional Information

Also other systems like Zimbra have a similar option, which is gladly used by some users in management drowning in appointments and events, which should be handled by their secretariat.

TagsNo tags attached.

That part "- If an invitation arrives anyway (eg. by external users) it should be declined automatically" is not possible, since SOGo doesn't have the user's password and isn't informed when a mail is delivered in the user's mailbox.

Could this part be done with a sieve filter?
(At least for those who activated sieve filters via SOGo.)

Not really, since the Sieve server would need to generate a full IMIP decline response.

A) Is it possible to get the forbidden message while in the invitation window instead of while saving the event?

B) Could you rephrase the message, in order to make it clear, that inviting is forbidden for these users?
(One of our test users thought: Inviting didn't succeed because of an error in the SOGo server.)
Perhaps something like:
"Inviting of the following persons is forbidden for you:"

For A, we do it this way to match the Lightning or any other DAV client behavior. The error will append over a PUT in DAV, not during the check of the freebusy. And the PUT is done when saving the event.
