Account delegation #12403
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a Nextcloud Mail user I want to delegate my full account to another Nextcloud user. This allows them to act on behalf of me. This feature could be used for assistants and vacation replacements.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add a UI to pick other users as delegatees. These users will then see my account in their left sidebar, and use it as if it were their own. That means they can send emails under my name.
For transparency it should be somehow indicated that it was acted on behalf of someone else.
Work packages
- Account delegation
- UI for delegator (delegate, list, undelegate)
- Backend for delegation
- UI for delegatee (indicator that an account is delegated)
- Audit log (for protocol when acting on behalf)
