I’m setting up Nextcloud and need to manage different configurations based on user roles (e.g., admin, user, guest). I’ve heard that using mode files could be beneficial, but I’m unsure about a few aspects:

  1. Definition: What are mode files in the context of Nextcloud, and how do they differ from other configuration methods?
  2. Implementation: How can I create and read mode files within Nextcloud? Are there specific best practices or tools to use?
  3. Structure: What’s the recommended way to structure data within mode files for optimal performance and clarity?
  4. Examples: Can anyone provide examples of using mode files effectively in Nextcloud configurations?

Is this just a post intended to spam a link to your own web site under the guise of mentioning “mode files” (whatever those are)?

If I’m mistaken, I apologize, but that link makes zero sense and does not discuss the topic.

If a legitimate query, can you elaborate on what problem you are trying to solve?
