Description

Acceptance criteria:
  • "Share" tab shows a list of users and groups who can already read/write this group.
  • "Add User" and "Add Group" buttons bring up our usual chooser. You can make multiple selections from here. When confirmed, they all get read permission, and the tab is reloaded to render them.
    • This requires changes to users.list api permissions, see #2665.
    • Workbench needs a special "create bulk permissions" method/route to support this.
  • Click a "trash" or "x" button to un-share with a listed user/group.
  • Click a drop-down to change permission type (read, modify, manage permissions).
  • Screen captures for demonstration purposes.
Not necessary [yet]:
  • Don't auto-refresh while the dialog is open, or worry about race conditions with other users/windows.
Aside: This is a special case of a generic "Share" mechanism needed in Workbench.
  • Collections do not have "write" permission.
  • Collections are always owned by system_user.
  • When you create a collection, you get a free permission/can_read link which is owned by system_user.
  • Other than Collections, everything else should act pretty much the same as Groups. So -- hopefully sooner rather than later -- none of the Javascript or Workbench-server support will be specific to Groups. (But if it makes the difference between getting it done or not, "only groups are essential for this story" is the rule.)
Other notes:
  • You can't necessarily tell whether another user is a member of a group.
