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

I really like the idea of templates as well.  It does seem that our user base is requesting a set list of questions for say Law, verses one for History, and another for the entire campus.

Best,
Jim

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.

Stephen

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.
