Guests cannot create notes
Error: HTTP 500 (OCP\Files\NotPermittedException
I have looked through everything, but where is the error? I can’t find an option that should affect this.

If anyone has any ideas. I would be very grateful.

Is “Limit guest access to an apps’s allowlist” (recomended) enabled?
And if yes, did you add notes to the apps allow list for guests in the admin settings tab for the guests app?

Can you post the complete log entry of that message please?
Sometimes the backtrace can help to localize the point where it derails.

OK, so your Guest needs the permission to create files in the directory where the note is created.

This is from the manual:

Guests users can only access files shared to them and cannot create any files outside of shares. Additionally, the apps accessible to guest accounts are whitelisted.

I’'ve been using guest accounts for a long time but never enabled the Notes app for guests. So I reproduced it here with a guest user, enabled Notes but it’s somehow impossible for the Notes app to move the folder in which the notes are saved to a shared folder. It allways jumps back to the default “Notizen” or “Notes” which cannot be created by a guest.

That is related to this Commit:

… and there is already an Issue about it:

So you could go there and upvote for it to get it solved.

If your guests absolutely need the Notes app, then at the moment regular accounts must be created with a home directory and quota greater 0.

Much and good luck,
