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)
