Feature request
Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: 32.0.4 (AIO)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
App works as intended, but it's limited in environments with mixed user-types, such as internal and external users.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to display different content based on group membership. My specific use case is that we have displayed frequent absences in the welcome widget for internal use. However, we also use the guests app to invite external users to our instance. If I allow the welcome app for guests, they would also see those absences, which is not intended. I would like different groups to see different content displayed in the widget.
Example:
Group A (internal users) sees Welcome Widget with Content A
Group B (external users) sees Welcome Widget with Content B
Describe alternatives you've considered
Been looking for alternative apps, however haven't found an appropriate one and would like to keep using this one.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the welcome widget and how Nextcloud group membership is exposed to it. Determine how content should be assigned to Group A and Group B, then verify that internal and external users see only the content intended for their group.
