Description
Bug
I see the error: Error: Error: Drop fails to drop appropriate thing! https://solid.github.io/solid-ui/src/icons/noun_98053.svg when I try to change the access control for a resource by adding "Add Everyone" to "Viewers.
Steps to recreate
- I created a directory in my root solidcommunity.net pod called
getting-started - I visited https://.solidcommunity.net/getting-started/
- I clicked on the padlock and then on the first green plus icon
- I drag and dropped the "Add Everyone" icon to the "Viewers" row.
- The error was shown.
Additional context
Once, somehow, I managed to "Add Everyone" to the Viewers list but I was not able to recreate that.

Research direction
Reproduce the access-control drag-and-drop flow described in the issue: create a root-level directory, open its padlock, and drag “Add Everyone” to “Viewers.” Trace the access-control UI handling for the drop failure; done means the action completes without the reported error and the permission appears in the Viewers list.
