Hello there
Is it possible for users to be able to log in using authenticate via username on IMAP server?
Thanks

Yes, you can authenticate agains an IMAP server, you need to log into setup (https://egw.example.org/egroupware/setup/) upper login, configure the used IMAP server and change the authentication to IMAP. You can also specify there, if authenticated users should be automatically create, if they don’t exist in EGroupware.

Another issue.
Standard user are not able edit their personal information… first and last name, tell…

Only Admin group users can do that.

How do i set permission that non admin users can edit their info?

Thank you.

The IMAP server has nothing to do with the mail account in EGroupware’s mail app.

Just configure the mail account and if you’re using the same mail server, one mail account valid for all users is sufficient (using the session password of the user).

That is not an issue, but the default ACL!

In the app configuration of addressbook you can configure which fields every user can edit in this own account.

There is also the possibility to define a group allowed to edit contact information of account beside the Admins group.

Hi there
Suddenly users are not able to edit their own info. First name, Last name. But they are able to edit other info.
Please see attached image.

Hi calgaryx.

Other than “Full Name” works for you?

I can reproduce it ist not working for “Full name” and the single name fields are not selectable.

I have created a ticket for this.

Hi StefanU,
Only Full name is not working.

Rest is working.

Thank you

What do you mean with “not working”:
a) Is the UI not updated, when you change one of the name parts, or
b) is it not changed after saving/applying the dialog (and maybe reopening the account)?

You can’t select name parts to be allowed for editing in the siite config. So user can’t change the name parts and full name is only the result of the name parts

Hi there.
You can’t select “ok” to change Full name.
“OK” is disabled.
Thanks

RalfBecker 2024-07-19 06:41:14 UTC #15

No. it’s not:

What makes you think it is disabled?

I can reproduce that on an release 23.1.20240624:

but not on trunk:

in trunk there is no menu point for edit your own user data:

You can change only if you have admin access.
Regular users can not.

calgaryx 2024-07-19 14:28:40 UTC #18

That would be great.
Thank you

We checked it today again, and I can not reproduce it, because it has been fixed since the last maintenance release:

You can either wait for the next maintenance release, or install the fix/patch using the instructions here in the forum.

Hi there.
This fix worked great.
Thanks for everything.
