Description
Steps to reproduce
- Creating flow rule with following filters: "Tag - not tagged by - TAGNAME" && "User Group is not ADMIN"
- Installing nextcloud Talk App
- Create new user
Expected behaviour
User is able to login and is able to use Nextcloud Talk
Actual behaviour
On first login User is getting an internal server error, log shows that the flow rule denies creation of "Talk" folder in user directory.
pre-creating the folder "Talk" by skeleton directory ist working to create the folder and let's the user log in, but the user has no access on the "Talk" folder because of the flow restrictions.
I haven't found any way to exclude the folder from the rule, so the user can use NC Talk.
Users should not be able to upload files to their own NC (Home) folder, but they should be able to work in shared folders and should be able to use NC Talk.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the files_accesscontrol workflow rule with a new user and the Nextcloud Talk app, observing the denied creation and access of the Talk folder. Done means the user can log in and use Talk while uploads to the user's home folder remain denied and shared-folder access continues to work.
