Introduction
plone.app.workflow contains workflow- and security-related features for Plone, including the sharing view.
It also supports the sharing.xml GenericSetup syntax, to add new roles to the "Sharing" page.:
<sharing xmlns:i18n="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/i18n" i18n:domain="plone">
<role
id="CopyEditor"
title="Can edit copy"
permission="Manage portal"
i18n:attributes="title"
/>
</sharing>
Changelog
2.1.6 (2013-07-14)
- Fixed sharing view when inherit is removed. [thomasdesvenain]

2.1.4 (2013-05-23)
- Include roles derived from borg.localrole adapters on the Sharing tab, appearing as inherited roles. [datakurre, davisagli]
- Refactor sharing view to use index class variable instead of tempalte to make customization possible with ZCML. Without this you need to use jbot. [toutpt]
2.1.3 (2013-04-29)
- Add json header to sharing.py. [travacic]
2.1.2 (2013-01-13)

2.1.1 (2013-01-01)
- Extensibility improvement on sharing view so developers can easily override this view and change what groups are always displayed (STICKY). [ispburger]
- Use HTML5 placeholder attribute on Sharing tab search box. Replaces deprecated inputLabel class. [danjacka]
2.1.0 (2012-10-16)
- Remove kss. JS integration is in Products.CMFPlone. [vangheem]
2.0.8 (2012-10-03)
- Refactor: we can easily customize the sharing view so that add/remove inherit field is removed. [thomasdesvenain]

- Ensure a stable ordering in the sharing.xml GS export. [hannosch]
2.0.5 (2011-08-31)
- User should click the 'Save' button to actually save its changes in the sharing tab. IOW we dont want to update local roles while searching for users. [jfroche]
2.0.4 - 2011-07-04
- If user has inherited local roles on a folder and removes inheritance on sharing page, locally set roles that were inherited before to avoid definitive loss of access. This refs http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/11945. [thomasdesvenain]
- In sharing view, return empty list immediately if search_term is the translated "Search for user or group" message. [vincentfretin]
- In sharing view, the search for users and groups was done twice, once in macro_wrapper template and another one in the user-group-sharing macro in sharing template because of duplicate variable definitions. [vincentfretin]
2.0.3 - 2011-05-12
- Add MANIFEST.in. [WouterVH]
- Normalize translated string before sorting sharing columns. [vincentfretin]
2.0.2 - 2011-04-03

- Specified package dependencies. [hannosch]
- Display the userid in addition to the fullname if they are different. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8251. [csenger]
- Adjusted a test to work with Zope 2.12. [hannosch]
- Use safe_unicode() instead of str() to fix #7576. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8371. [csenger]
1.1.5 - 2008-08-18
- Correct UnicodeDecodeError in sharing-view when users or groups with non-ascii characters are searched. All parameters fetched from the request are strings, but _(u'Logged-in users') isn't. A string with non-ascii characters and a unicode-string can't be joined. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7576 [csenger]
1.1.4 - 2008-07-24
- Keep the icons for inherited and global roles when updating the sharing page after a search. This fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8313 . [wichert]
- Sort the principals in the sharing page. Before they could reorder randomly when saving changes. [wichert]
- Fix a logic error in sharing page view: role changes would appear to be lost when saving a view, while the were really applied. This fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/8295 . [wichert]
1.1.3 - 2008-07-07
- Modify the inline (kss) search option in the sharing page to only search and not update the roles and search. This behaviour was unintuitive and possible very very slow. [wichert]
- Update the sharing page to do nothing if the new set of roles is the same as the current set of roles. [wichert]
- Update sharing code to only reindex once instead of twice. [wichert]
- Only call reindexObjectSecurity from the sharing tab's update_inherit method if the setting actually changed. This avoids an unnecessary, potentially expensive catalog reindex in many cases. [davisagli]
- Update the search-result merging code based on the code from PlonePAS 3.6. [wichert]
- Handle principals which can not be retrieved. This can occur in LDAP environments. [wichert]
- Mark the security names as public so they can be imported everywhere and register them with Zope on startup so you can manage them via the ZMI or a GenericSetup profile. [wichert]
1.1.0 - 2008-04-21
- Protect the "sharing" form against CSRF attacks. [witsch]
1.0.7 - 2008-03-09
- Created fine-grained permissions for delegating sharing page roles in order to avoid people with a delegated permission escalating their own privileges. This can now be controlled at a high level by the "Sharing page: Delegate roles" permission, which controls access to the Sharing page machinery, and at an individual roles basis, with permissions like "Sharing page: Delegate Editor role". http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7652
- Stopped people from locking themselves out by disabling the ability to edit their own roles.
- Added friendly "Changes saved" message. http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6966
- user_search_results() now searches in login name as well as fullname. Fixes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/6853 [erikrose]
- Factored up the duplicated logic from user_search_results() and group_search_results() to form _principal_search_results(). [erikrose]
0.1
- Added missing closing head tag to sharing.pt. This closes http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7161. [hannosch]
