Sharing With Groups You're Not A Member Of

I wanted to share one of my libraries (let’s call it “programster expenses”) with a group I was not part of (let’s call it “finance department”). I found that I was able to share the library with specific users, but could not share it with a group unless I was a member of that group. This is because the group would not appear in the dropdown as I typed the group’s name.

Surely one should be able to share to a group of users (whose membership may change over time) without having to be a member of that group?

I would also like to see this feature, actually I was surprised this feature is missing… At the moment I have to share with individuals which will create a lot of extra work in the future when employees leave/start.

For us, sharing with just (global) LDAP groups could be sufficient.

Actually, we have implemented the feature in version 6.2. You can turn it on via Web UI or adding

ENABLE_SHARE_TO_ALL_GROUPS = True

to seahub_settings.py
