Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

An organization (fire brigade) has a calendar in which training services and events are stored. This calendar is shared with the comrades so that they can view registered training services and events.

Only the admins have write access to this calendar, the comrades only have read access.

Now reminders are added to the training service so that the comrades are reminded of the training service. Unfortunately, Nextcloud provides that the reminders are not passed through to users who only have read rights.

I understand the developers' concern that the user might feel bothered by the reminders. However, each user should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to receive these reminders or not. Even if he only has read access to the respective calendar.

Describe the solution you'd like

So to speak, a user should be able to:

I want to receive notifications from calendar x ...
I don't want to receive notifications from calendar y ...

Such a function would find a solution for everyone and it would make Nextcloud even better..

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Thank you for your attention and we hope that you can implement this as we have had problems with it for a long time.

Thank you so much!

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how reminders are handled for read-only shared calendars and clarify the design for a per-calendar notification preference. Done means users can independently choose whether to receive reminders from each calendar, including calendars where they have read-only access.
