Title:
Revise merging of sharing permissions for a collection
Status in Mahara:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When pages are added to a collection, all sharing permissions are
merged and a notice provided on screen to the user so that they know
it happened. However, the details are not mentioned.
By merging sharing permissions, it can happen that one person or group
is mentioned multiple times, e.g. when a page was shared without peer
or manager permissions but then is added to a collection that contains
these permissions. This can get confusing quickly as there are
contradicting sharing permissions. Furthermore, in the case of the
peer permission, it would give a peer access to portfolio content they
shouldn't see.
It would be beneficial if a user were able to review the sharing
permissions after adding one or more pages to a collection so as not
to overshare by accident.
I see two scenarios:
1. Leave things as they are when the sharing permissions for the
collection and the newly added page(s) are identical and mention that
in the info box at the top of the page.
2. When the sharing permissions are not identical (for whatever
reason), require the user to continue to the sharing permissions
screen when clicking the "Done" button at the bottom of the page. It
would not be enough to provide a link in an info box because they are
easily overlooked. When the "Done" button is clicked, a modal should
come up informing the user that they need to review the permissions as
they have been merged.
Potential text for the modal: The permissions of the newly added
page(s) were merged into the existing collection permissions. Please
review them carefully and make any necessary adjustments.
Button text: Review (we don't need "Review permissions" as that is
mentioned in the text and makes the button text very long; even more
so in other languages)
