Hi,

I can answer most of your questions with no I believe. In the initial 
design of webical we excluded these matters to be able to use container 
authentication mechanisms. There is only one exception; the system 
administrator who has privileges to alter system wide configuration.

It would however surely be possible to add this to webical. But atm I 
don't really see your use case. Could you explain as what you are trying 
to accomplish?

Why would you want to restrict users to subscribe to calendars?

As the calendars are hosted externally and are not controlled by webical 
you can restrict access at the webdav layer if you want.


I think that if you want to implement a strict access control in webical 
you would need a bit of an overhaul of the current design. The reasoning 
now is that all resources are controlled and regulated externally. This 
has the advantage that webical can be extermely pluggable, but the 
disadvantage that access control has to be implemented somewhere else. 
One way to do this is to couple webical and your webdav server to a 
central ldap server for authentication for example (this was our own 
business case).

Thanks for your input, you're welcome to step in with more ideas if you 
like.

Regards,
Ivo
