# Allow or disallow online accounts

The GNOME Online Accounts (GOA) are used for integrating personal network accounts with the GNOME Desktop and applications. The user can add their online accounts, such as Google, Facebook, Flickr, ownCloud, and others using the Online Accounts application.

As a system administrator, you can:

enable all online accounts;

selectively enable a few online accounts;

disable all online accounts.

# Configure online accounts

Make sure that you have the gnome-online-accounts package installed on your system.

Creare il profilo user che contiene le seguenti righe:

# /etc/dconf/profile/user

user-db:user system-db:local

local è il nome di un database dconf.

Create the directory /etc/dconf/db/local.d/ if it does not already exist.

Create the key file /etc/dconf/db/local.d/00-goa to provide information for the local database containing the following configuration.

To enable specific providers:

[org/gnome/online-accounts] whitelisted-providers=['google', 'facebook']

To disable all providers:

[org/gnome/online-accounts] whitelisted-providers=['']

To allow all available providers:

[org/gnome/online-accounts] whitelisted-providers=['all']

This is the default setting.

To prevent the user from overriding these settings, create the file /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/goa with the following content:

# /etc/dconf/db/local.d/locks/goa

# Blocca la lista di fornitori di cui è permesso il caricamento /org/gnome/online-accounts/whitelisted-providers

Aggiornare i database di sistema:

    # dconf update

Gli utenti devono disconnettersi e accedere nuovamente prima che le impostazioni a livello di sistema abbiano effetto.
