The automatic subscription feature for calendars and addressbooks does not seem to track changes in group membership of individual users, ie. when a user is added to a group after a calendar/addressbook has been shared to this group, the corresponding group ACLs do not seem to be applied to this new group member.

This issue has been discussed before ( 0000395 , closed fixed but possibly not so, with regards to the present issue).

As has been suggested in the discussion for 0000395, possible solutions would be

• either checking for group membership on login and update subscriptions/visibility of shared resources (ref. 0000395:0002137 )

• or at least the option to update subscriptions based on a script (or sth. along the lines of "sogo-tools update-permissions") which could be cronjobbed (ref 0000395:0002829).

The solution proposed in 0000395:0002137 was to leave it at the ressource owner's discretion to manually hit the "subscribe for..." checkbox for each shared ressource whenever a new user is added to the respective group.

This is probably not a realistic option in scenarios where lots of groups and users (with non-technical background) are involved. Automatic update of ACLs on group membership change (ie. actively reflecting changes in the LDAP group structure) therefore would be a most welcome feature.
