This could be simplified a lot by adding an option to only (or always) allow editing the own_contact preference. Of course this also requires the admin to lock that pref and provide a hook for it, but that's just documentation.

Currently, we use a shared readonly addressbook as an organisation-wide GAL. To allow users to edit their own entry, we provide an RW accessible second addressbook "me" which contains only one entry (by filter). This makes the user experience a little bit confusing but I found no better configuration in existing code. I'd like to either implement a backend option or an ACL/permission to allow filtering which entries a user/group has write access to. Another option would be to make the UI recognize which ACLs are granted to the LDAP bind user but this is probably too much introspection and too slow.
