When a logged-in user accesses a public share link in the same browser, the system was incorrectly checking if that user's groups were excluded from creating link shares. This caused share not found errors for users in excluded groups, even though public shares should be accessible to anyone with the link. The group exclusion setting (`shareapi_allow_links_exclude_groups`) is intended to restrict share creation, not share access. Public shares are meant to be anonymous and accessible regardless of the viewer identity or group membership. Signed-off-by: nfebe <[email protected]>
Following #55811 split `shareApiAllowLinks()` into two dedicated methods to improve clarity and separation of concerns: - `isLinkSharingEnabled()`: Checks if link sharing is globally enabled - `canUserCreateLinkShares()`: Checks if a user can create link shares (considers both global settings and group restrictions) The original shareApiAllowLinks() is now deprecated and acts as a wrapper to maintain backward compatibility.
