Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to have the option to share an address book publicly, will this be possible? Currently I can only share with the users of the system.

Describe the solution you want
Have the option of publicly sharing an address book and that external users can view these on the web in a simple way as users of the system do.

Also include permissions such as, editing, creating, deleting as decided by the user who shares this address book.

I think this function would be very convenient if we want to share a directory of contacts of people in an entity where not everyone has an account in nextcloud.

Regards

Start by reviewing the existing address-book sharing flow and web view described in the issue. Define public access and the sharer's edit, create, and delete permissions; done means external users can view the address book and those permissions are enforced.
