Marcus Christie commented on AIRAVATA-2936:
-------------------------------------------
Right, this would be a general capability. Anything that can be shared can also
have the managing of the sharing permissions delegated to other users.
> Proposal: "manage sharing" permission for delegating the ability to
> add/remove/update sharing of an entity

> Key: AIRAVATA-2936
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-2936
> Project: Airavata
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Marcus Christie
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently only the owner of an entity can change the sharing settings of the
> entity. For entities that are collaboratively managed this can become
> burdensome that all sharing changes must be funneled through a single user.
> It would be useful if the entity owner could delegate managing of who has
> sharing access to another user or group.
> To this end I'm proposing a new MANAGE_SHARING permission in our system. If
> a user has the MANAGE_SHARING permission for an entity, they should be able
> to add, remove and modify the permissions and users/groups with which that
> entity is shared.
