Sorry to reopen this topic, but...
I'm sorry, but i disagree.

On our Nextcloud implementation we have a user that's the Admin, that manages some global things. Like folders and calendars. Because Nextcloud in centered on the User and not on Projects we have a user that created some resources to centralize Projects and that is shared to everyone.

So, what we have is a calendar that was created in the Admin user (no one uses this Admin).
We have a "Generic" calendar that is shared to everyone. Than we use this calendar to put events so everyone can know whats happening but these events are only for some people to attend.

We need to have a calendar to put events about a Project so everyone knows whats happening, but these events are related to only one project so only 2 or 3 persons will be attended.

And by the logic these 2 or 3 attendees should receive a notification by email, they only receive by Nextcloud App notification.
And if i have Edit permissions on this calendar why shouldn't i have permissions to edit the Attendees?
They should receive the email notification has it is on normal calendars.

Thanks

Sorry, same here: we have a team of people who are organising events for one person within our organization; we absolutely NEED the possibility to make invites for this other person in a shared calendar (as nunoleite wrote - we also have a "dummy" admin user that shares to groups as needed); at first we thought this is a bug - until we found this. It worked like a charm for years now.

I do not know the reason for that change - but maybe it would be less drastic to have a setting like "let others make invites" yes / no - with a default to no if need be. But that this is just switched off really bugs us. (Right now there are mails going back and forth - and the poor head of the team must handle all the invites herself - she's up the wall, I can tell you :))

Thank you,

Jan

same here, we have a calendar which is shared with the group containing all events, this is not working anymore

I am also disagree.
In my family I need to add/edit attendees for the appointments of my children.

-1?, Our group also has a shared calendar and limiting editing attendees in this way is broken for us. As a configuration option this would be great. But this breaks our shared group calendar.

[artfulrobot]

me too. This breaks being able to have shared calendar in the team and use the attendees feature.

Actual behaviour

The problem is about lacking notifications; the solution that was merged is not about that, and has clearly broken a system that many relied upon.

This change makes the calendar unusable for my project. It should be possible to decide with who you want to share the calendar (that's already implemented) and also who has the right to create/edit/delete meetings. It should also be possible to give people/groups circles only the permission to add attendees and/or remove them.

Until then I will use an alternative calendar solution, because almost every other calendar can handle shared calendars for companies and families better.

It seems this is (re)fixed here :

Fix this please properly without breaking important functionality for your users!
