**As** an administrator
**I want to** be able to remove users from the "OpenProject"-group on Nextcloud even when the "OpenProject"-Group is the only group membership of the user
**so that** I can control users access to automatic managed group folders through the "OpenProject"-group membership.

**Acceptance criteria**

* Users can be removed from the "OpenProject"-group on Nextcloud even when the "OpenProject"-Group is the only group membership of the user.


**Technical notes**

* Since Nextcloud doesn't allow removing users from their group, the proposed solution is to have a new group which contains the users removed from the OpenProject group.

* The general flow for removing user from OpenProject group would be:

* Add user to that new group

* Remove user from OpenPorject group

* Need to consider how this works for users coming from OIDC provider (like Keycloak)


**Permissions and visibility considerations**

* _Adminstrators_
