Problems of access rights
Are there news of https://gitlab.com/davical-project/davical/issues/59 ?

It is very critical that any user can have administrator access to all
resources.

I am not aware of anybody working on this right now, so no.

But rest assured that while any user can know about the existence
of any collection on the server, that doesn't mean they have the
authority to change or view the contents of those collections.

If you are bothered by the ability to list principals and collections,
you could have the web server restrict access to index.php/admin.php to
"real" administrators (who would then have to carry out the
administrative tasks for their users, though).

If this is an issue for you then you can mitigate this issue by
restricting the DAViCal admin interface to only be available on a
particular IP address.

Cheers,
Andrew.
