Description

When an admin creates a group folder, he cat setup some default permissions :
Capture d’écran 2019-12-29 à 14 38 55

But when a user with admin rights wants to add other permissions, he can't see these default permissions :
Capture d’écran 2019-12-29 à 14 50 12

It makes it difficult to administer : after some time, you don't remember what the basic permissions were. And if your admin user is different from your every-day-user (which is my case), you have to log out and in to check the settings of the GF.
It would be great to have this information on the Share panel.

Research direction

Start by tracing the group-folder Share panel and how it currently loads permissions for an admin user. Compare the displayed permissions with the folder's inherited default permissions; done means the inherited ACL is visible when adding or reviewing sharing options.
