[share-dialog-redesign] III: Rename permissions

[hurradieweltgehtunter]

This is a sub-task of #8743

This is mostly due to the german translations and the attempt for gender-neutral wording. It is quite hard to find a gender-neutral term representing permissions:

• Bearbeiter/-in: looks clumsy
• Bearbeiter / Bearbeiterin: too long
• Bearbeitende Person: too long, not universally usable

There are multiple ideas and proposals. Here's what I collected so far.

Intermission

While collecting the permissions I stumbled upon the permission "Internal". This raised some questions which are explained in detail here: #8752

Proposal 1: Use verbs as describers

The idea is not to use person-focused but action-focused describers. This would circumvent the need for gender-neutral/gender-specific terms.

Pros

• self-explanatory
• future-proof
• variable usage
• ?

Cons

• Adds (a little bit) more length to descriptors
• ?

Proposal 2: Use abstract describers

This proposal comes from a customer. The idea behind is to avoid using gender-specific terms.

Pros

• gets rid of gender-specific terms
• ?

Cons

• adds another abstract layer in naming
• names are not self-explanatory
• ?
