Actually, the screenshot I sent was from the view of a user who does
not own the document, but should not have been able to share it based
on configuration, so perhaps the configuration is wrong or there is a
bug, because that user can see and use the Download and Share
controls.

If a user should not be able to share a document, should they be able
to add it to a new world? That seems like another way to share.
Perhaps the "Add to" control should also not appear for such a user...
