collective.sharingroles 1.0b1

Makes it easier to manage the roles that show up on the 'sharing' page in Plone 3

Introduction

This package provides services for managing the roles shown on the ‘Sharing’ page in Plone.

Specifically, it provides a GenericSetup handler to export/import the available roles. The file should be called sharing.xml, and have the following format:

<sharing>
    <role
        id="CopyEditor"
        title="Can edit copy"
        permission="Manage portal"
        />
<sharing>

The id must match a role already installed (e.g. with rolemap.xml). The title is the name to be shown on the sharing page. The required_permission is optional. If given, the user must have this permission to be allowed to manage the particular role.
