Description

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
Bug description

Newly created users (via OIDC using Keycloak) don't see a previously created share. After recreating the share and the users can see the share.

Steps to reproduce

Users: A, B and C
Group: G
Share: S

  1. A (a keycloak account) created a share S and shared with B (my account, not a keycloak account)
  2. B shared with the keycloak group G
  3. the newly created account C (a keycloak account), who is member of the group G, doesn't see the share S
Expected behavior

That newly created accounts see this folder. It works if:

  • it is directly shared with them
  • or also e.g. chats where the group is invited

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the A/B/C scenario on Nextcloud Server 31 with the user_oidc app and Keycloak, focusing on group-shared folders and newly created group members. Done means account C can see folder S without recreating the share, matching direct shares and group-invited chats.
