Currently, integrating BlueMind with NextCloud implies end-users should all edit their own account settings, adding their NextCloud credentials.
This does not scale well, with lots of users, some of them won't care, maybe they don't even know, ... attachments would eventually get lost.

It would be nice for this integration to allow a BlueMind domain administrator to provide with credentials for some NextCloud administrative account.
Find some way to automatically map BlueMind users to NextCloud ones -- which shouldn't be much complicated, assuming large scale deployments would most likely rely on the same authentication source, there's a fair chance username and/or emails already match.

Hey,
this was actually our initial approach. 
But I don't think that Nextcloud supports impersonation on an API level. 
So we could either use one management account for all, which implies that the users could see the attachments of each other in the BlueMind file chooser, or let all users share their attachment folder with the service account which seems rather tedious. 
Could you develop and explain your proposition in more detail, I will be happy to look into it.
Best regards, Thomas
