Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, email signatures in Nextcloud Mail are fully managed by individual users.
Administrators have no way to centrally define or enforce signatures.
This leads to:
- Inconsistent external communication
- Violations of corporate identity (CI) guidelines
- Increased support and configuration effort
This is especially problematic in organizations with compliance or branding requirements.
Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce a centralized email signature management feature at the admin level that allows:
-
Managing signatures:
- per user
- per user group
- per mailbox
- global default
-
Editing signatures in the admin settings
-
Controlling user permissions:
- Make signatures read-only (locked)
- Allow or disallow user overrides
-
Clear precedence rules (e.g. mailbox > user > global)
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Consistent and professional email communication
- Reduced user misconfiguration
- Lower administrative overhead
- Better support for organizational use cases
Additional context
- Signature preview in admin settings
- Multiple signatures per user or mailbox
- Signature selection based on sender address
