Not sure why this is an enhancement? I know it's not a showstopper and it's a pain in the ass, but if this is going to be postponed indefinitely then your idea of saying "only calendars I have explicit permissions for" at least makes it technically correct. But this seems like a bug to me, and a problem.

That would make the behavior correct according to our docs, but it doesn't solve the real problem; it wouldn't let you get notifications on any public calendars. I think we need to let users check off the exact calendars they want notifications for, and to store those somewhere (backend independent, hopefully).

We could get a list of users from the Auth backend and notify them all, but these sounds like getting a spam trap. Maybe we should change the prefs description to something like "Every calendar I explicitly have read permissions for".

Ah, I see. We're looking at the list of users/groups for the share to do these notifications (to see who might want them). So we need another way of doing this. Ideas?

My wife has set kronolith to  be notified on every calendar change she has read access. This includes my own calendar, because I have seet my calendar with read access to *every* registered user.

She does not get any notification.

I add my wife explicitly (with her username) to  access my calendar with read access.

Now she gets the change notifications by email.

But in my opinion setting the read right to "every registered user" should already include the right to get email notifications.

The role "Registered User" doesn't work (no notification email is sent)

Registered users need to be granted explicitly by their user name if they subscribe to calendar changes ("all calendars I am allowed to view"). The explicit "User" role is working.

I didn't check if the "User Group" role is working.
