Nextcloud 27 exposes the system address book with read-only contacts for all system users. It's common to have Nextcloud groups for departments, teams and projects.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a CATEGORIES property to the system contacts based on the display names of a user's Nextcloud groups.

This requires users to be allowed to see other user's groups.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the system address book contact generation and the logic governing visibility of other users' groups; done means eligible contacts expose group display names as CATEGORIES without revealing groups users cannot see.
