Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently using SSO/SAML. Every time a user is added to the Nextcloud group in Azure, they have to first log in for their account to be created. After that, I have to login as an admin to nextcloud and give them permissions to the group folder.

I would like the ability to say - all new users get access to this group folder with this specific permission. After that I can edit the permission based on their need.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to be able to assign all users access to group folders(s) that you specify.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how SAML-created users are assigned Nextcloud group-folder permissions, then define how an administrator selects folders and permissions for new users. Done means newly provisioned users receive the configured access automatically while administrators can still adjust it afterward.
