Nextcloud's File Access Control app enables administrators to protect data from unauthorized access or modifications.

How it works

The administrator can create and manage a set of rule groups. Each of the rule groups consists of one or more rules. If all rules of a group hold true, the group matches the request and access is being denied or the upload is blocked. The rules criteria range from IP address, mimetype and request time to group membership, tags, user agent and more.

An example would be to deny access to Excell/XLSX files owned by the "Human Resources" group accessed from an IP not on the internal company network or to block uploads of files bigger than 512 mb by students in the "1st year" group.

Hi,
I have problem with rules in app “File access control”.
My expectations are as follows:

• tagged folder should not appear in Desktop Client settings or should not be able to be selected for synchronization
• folders and sub folders should not be downloaded to local Nextcloud folder on client
• sync errors notifications and fatal errors in Nextcloud log should not be reported whenever a file is updated in the tagged
  folder

I would like to disable synchronization for the folders that are in the group that was created by the Group folders application. And the group is shared with other users.
What is the procedure, can someone advise me?
I explored this:

1. Add restricted tag “NoSync”
2. Create file access rule (Block Desktop Sync)
   Rule 1: File system tag is tagged with NoSync (restricted)
   Rule 2: Request user agent is Desktop client
3. Tag a folder containing other folders and files with “NoSync”
4. Share the tagged folder with a user using Desktop Client
