class="versionmodified added">Added in version 28.0.0.</span></p> </div> <p>The out-of-office feature allows users to schedule an out-of-office period including a status and message that is integrated with other apps such as Nextcloud Mail. Please refer to the user documentation for more information about the feature itself. It may be disabled globally by admins.</p> <p>The feature relies on users to configure their preferred calendar time zones correctly. However, if a user does not configure their time zone, the default time zone of the server is used. It can be configured by setting <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">default_timezone</span></code> in the <cite>config.php</cite> file of your Nextcloud server. The configuration value accepts IANA identifiers like <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Europe/Berlin</span></code> and defaults to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">UTC</span></code>. Please refer to the <cite>Nextcloud configuration</cite> section for more information about the value.</p> <p>To disable the out-of-office feature for all users the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">hide_absence_settings</span></code> app configuration value of the <cite>dav</cite> app has to be set to <cite>yes</cite>. This can be achieved by running the following command on your server:</p> <div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">occ</span> <span class="n">config</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">app</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nb">set</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="n">value</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">yes</span> <span class="n">dav</span> <span class="n">hide_absence_settings</span> </pre></div> </div> <div class="admonition note"> <p class="admonition-title">Note</p> <p>Out-of-office periods that were scheduled before the feature was disabled will not be deleted. Disabling it will only hide the feature from the user interface. If the feature is enabled again, the periods will be visible again.</p> </div> <p>Set the value for <cite>hide_absence_settings</cite> to <cite>no</cite> or delete the configuration option entirely to enable the feature again. The following command can be used to do so:</p> <div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">occ</span> <span class="n">config</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="n">app</span><span class="p">:</span><span class="nb">set</span> <span class="o">--</span><span class="n">value</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">no</span> <span class="n">dav</span> <span class="n">hide_absence_settings</span> </pre></div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <footer><div class="rst-footer-buttons" role="navigation" aria-label="Footer"> <a href="mail.html" class="btn btn-neutral float-left" title="Mail" accesskey="p" rel="prev"><span class="fa fa-arrow-circle-left" aria-hidden="true"></span> Previous</a> <a href="troubleshooting.html" class="btn btn-neutral float-right" title="Troubleshooting" accesskey="n" rel="next">Next <span class="fa fa-arrow-circle-right" aria-hidden="true"></span></a> </div> <hr/> <div role="contentinfo"> <p>© Copyright 2016-2026 Nextcloud GmbH and Nextcloud contributors.</p> </div> </footer> </div> </div> </section> </div> <div class="rst-versions" data-toggle="rst-versions" role="note" aria-label="versions"> <span class="rst-current-version" data-toggle="rst-current-version"> ☁️ latest <span class="fa fa-caret-down"></span> </span> <div class="rst-other-versions"> <dl> <dt>☁️ Versions</dt> <dd style="width: 32%"> <a href="https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual" style="color: var(--dark-link-color);" > latest </a> </dd> <dd style="width: 32%"> <a href="https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/stable/admin_manual" > stable </a> </dd> <dd style="width: 32%"> <a href="https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/32/admin_manual" > 32 </a> </dd> <dd style="width: 32%"> <a href="https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/31/admin_manual" > 31 </a> </dd> </dl> </div> </div> <script> jQuery(function () { SphinxRtdTheme.Navigation.enable(true); }); </script> </body> </html>
