Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Imagine everybody you work with on a project has their own nextcloud and their own federation ID. At the moment, if I want to cooperate with them on my project I have to give them a local account for them to be able to use all my project ressources (files, calendar, contacts, deck, collectives..."

Describe the solution you'd like
It should be possible to add a federation ID to a team and thus give the external user access to all my local project ressources.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can share files with them and calendars and I can invite them to a chat. But that is extra work and they are not really in my team. If they leave the project I have to remember, where I have to delete shares with them.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Begin by mapping how federation IDs, teams, and access to files, calendars, contacts, Deck, and Collectives are currently represented; done means an external federation ID can join a team and receive its resources without separate shares.
