[Contrib: Evaluation System] share templates jira EVALSYS-1006

[Adam Marshall]

we don't use the heirarchy at all but I like your idea. 

This appears to be more about visbility of templates rather than editability (although obviously you need to be able to see a template before editing one).

>From what Aaron was saying we'd be better off assigning editability of a template to an ad-hoc group rather than a site. How would this sit with your desires?

| What would be useful for us is to have templates be visible to
| particular levels in a hierarchy of Faculty > Department > User, as we
| have for example templates specific to the Law Faculty that we don't
| necessarily want to be globally visible.
| 
| I'm not sure the evals hierarchy is geared to that sort of use though,
| and how we'd associate users with a level in the hierarchy.

| This is a pretty fundamental design switch in the way the tool works.
| Evals is user centric and you are trying to force it to be site
| centered instead. I understand that is how many tools in Sakai are
| made but it is not fundamentally how this one is. I think this change
| will end up adding a huge amount of complexity as it is a major shift
| in the permissions model so it really needs to be approved by all the
| schools in production before it goes into the tool trunk (you are
| welcome to make this change locally of course without waiting for
| anyone else).
| 
| The suggestion to setup sharing with other users is much more inline
| with the user centric way the tool currently works and is probably a
| better way to handle things (IMO).
| 
| I think you probably would need to extend this to include items and
| scales to avoid confusing the users. If you don't it should be ok
| assuming the items/scales are made public somehow.
