Description
Problem
We've recently implemented the first iteration of the new dashboard design with basic sharing and pinning functionalities which pre-existed in the first version of the dashboard. FWIW, sharing within the VS Code editor is also missing for the time being, see https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/2812.
While sharing and pinning work, the current UX is not as intuitive and could be imporved.
Proposal
One option would be to re-use the modal component to allow better sharing flow and more granular permissions if needed.

Research direction
Start with the dashboard workspace list's existing sharing flow and compare it with the sharing modal used in the Theia Editor. The designs are still marked TBD, so first resolve the intended UX and permission requirements. Done means an agreed, more intuitive dashboard sharing flow is implemented and its behavior is verified.
