Adding/Editing of arbitrary user fields through Nextcloud

[marcthe12]

An ability to set and get other fields like email, quota, groups, etc in the same way as display name currently do. This allows to do the user management inside nextcloud for stuff like email or git.

Another idea if possible will be to lock the fields which would be useful if they are static or computed/generated from other entries. In my case, since there is only one domain, email gets generated from username.

There are already 3 exsisting issues related to this:

• User Quota #23 Quota
• add email query support #20 Email
• Add group support #7 Groups

@marcthe12 I have just created a pull request which implements #20 and #7 and could easily be extended for #23 too. Please have a look at #26

You mean Nextcloud should read the Quota value from an external SQL database?

What do you mean by "git"? What would this field contain and how would Nextcloud use it?

I was referring non gui services. Git is poor choice of example but for mail you can share quota for the mailbox which is useful. Any field that can be edited via documented Nextclould apis should prob be exposed.
