Description
It would be nice to add admin options for enabling/disabling certain types of circles. As an example, on a public Nextcloud instance with high privacy expectations, we'd like to disable closed circles.
People keep creating closed circles without realizing that those circles can be seen by every user on the Nextcloud instance. Private and secret circles are invisible by definition, public circles are expected to be visible to everyone, but closed circles often confuse our users.
Therefore we would really appreciate an option to disable closed circles altogether.
