Bug Description

On the share page, there are buttons for each of the logged-in user's groups, so that the user can add group access easily for the groups they're most likely to want to share with. Adding access for other groups is more difficult, because the user must search in the 'other users & groups' advanced option.

It would be nice to have a few short-cut buttons for sharing with individual users that the logged-in user is likely to want to give access to, without necessarily requiring a request/accept friends step.

This has been enabled using lists of "favourite users". A favourites list is just a list of users who you are likely to want to share your views with. People on your favourites list show up with individual "add access" buttons on the share page.

Initially, support for adding & removing favourite users will be limited to a function designed to be called by a webservice api, by an institution, to maintain a favourites list on a user's behalf. Some institutions will want to update a student's list regularly with a list of teachers for that student. At some point in the future, the same underlying structure will be used on a page where users can add, edit and maintain their own favourites lists.

The initial support has already been added on master in the following commits:

Commit 8a3263d06fb5df74f43549f16d9d27c1180a4a18 removes a bogus restriction that meant only institution members could be added to an institution-controlled favourites list.

    Allow institutional admins to add non-members to favourites

    See bug #799566

    The initial implementation of the institution-controlled
    favourites list was too strict. Institutional admins should
    only be able to edit the favourites lists for institution
    members, but there should be no restrictions on who can be
    added to a user's favourites list.
