Retain view access for everyone but members in a group

[Kristina Hoeppner]

When you allow copying of a portfolio, you can instruct Mahara to retain view access to the copy, which is a handy feature to not having to instruct students to share their portfolio with the same person, but automatically share the portfolio with them.

This works well for personal portfolios as the portfolio is then only shared with one person. However, in groups this can be tricky because then everyone in the groups gets access to the portfolio, which may not be intended if the teacher only set up the group to share templates with students and wants the students to then only share the portfolio with them rather than the entire group.

It would be useful that if a group portfolio is shared the advanced option of 'Retain view access on copied pages or collections' is changed into a drop-down menu with the following options:
- None
- All group members
- Everyone except ordinary members [i.e. tutors and admins]
- Group administrators

This idea resulted from a conversation with Chris Kenniburg from Dearborn Schools.
