Share Metadata with All Authenticated Users

[vchendrix]

Summary
Add a feature to AccessPolicyView that allows users to quickly share dataset metadata with all authenticatedUser subjects, similar to the existing Public toggle. This would enable broader but controlled sharing within the DataONE user community.

Background and Motivation
This requirement emerged from the WFSI project, where there is a need to make dataset metadata easily accessible to all authenticated users, not just the public. Currently, users can toggle between public and individual/group access, but there is no simple option for sharing with all authenticated users.

Proposed Solution

• Add a toggle or option in AccessPolicyView labeled "Share with all authenticated users."
• When selected, the appropriate access policy should be applied to grant read (and/or other relevant permissions) to the authenticatedUser subject.
• UI/UX should be consistent with the existing Public toggle, making it clear who will have access when enabled.
• Include help text or tooltips to explain the difference between "Public" and "Authenticated Users."

Questions for the Maintainers

• Would this feature be useful for the broader MetacatUI community?
• Are there any concerns about implementing such a toggle (e.g., security, permissions granularity)?
• Would you consider a contribution for this feature from the WFSI project team?

Additional Context
This feature would streamline data sharing for collaborative projects where public access is not appropriate, but all logged-in DataONE users should have access.

I have tested this out manually by taking a private dataset and sharing the metadata file only with authenticatedUser. An error message shows up when the data files cannot be accessed. This would need to be changed to a warning that they do not have permission to view the data files (instead of an error)

If I share both the resourceMap and the metadata file with authenticateUser but not the data files. Then we get this. Which allows the user to download the metadata file but the data files show up as pids. Maybe they should be filtered out?
