[🎨 Design discussion & exploration] [Spike] MVC 1 - Epics can have child issues in different groups.

Scope for this issue

Design ideation and engineering spike for MVC1 in &8294

Design considerations (includes MVC 1 and 2 from &8294)

User has permission to view other group's epic

• Assign an epic from another group as parent
  • Search for epic across groups to add as parent
  • Add epic as parent via epic tree
  • Add epic as parent via quick action
• Assign an epic from another group as a child
  • Search for epic across groups to add as child
  • Create an epic within another group to add as child
  • Add epic as child via epic tree
  • Add epic as child via quick action
• View which group ancestor or child epics are originate from. This could be specific (which exact group is this epic from) or more generic (this epic is from the same group as my current epic or not).
  • Display group information in parent epic picker
    • Indicate which child/parent epics are in the same group as the current epic
    • Indicate which child/parent epics are in aa group other than the current epic's group
    • Display specifically which group each child/parent epic belongs to
  • Display group information in epic tree
    • Indicate which child epics are in the same group as the current epic
    • Indicate which child epics epics are in aa group other than the current epic's group
    • Display specifically which group each child epic belongs to (could be similar to our current path breadcrumbs)
• Reassign epic to another group 💡 Potential idea

User doesn't have permission to view other group's epic

• Ensure private or confidential information is not displayed to users without permission 😱 Important
  • .... list out potential scenarios
• Allow users to gain context on the parent epic that the user does not have access to
  • Define what is available to users without permission within the epic picker/sidebar
• Allow users to gain context on the child epic(s) that the user does not have access to
  • Define epic rollups when users do not have access to all epics/groups
    • Epic weight
    • Epic count
    • Epic progress
    • Epic health
  • Define what is available to users without permission within the epic tree cards
• Allow users without access to a group to add an epic from this group as parent to their current epic 💡 Potential idea
• Allow users without access to a group to add an epic from this group as child of their current epic 💡 Potential idea
• Educate users about which epics the do not have access to
  • When searching for an epic
  • When viewing epics
• Educate users about which groups the do not have access to
  • When searching for an epic within a group
  • When viewing epics within a group
• Allow users to request access or join groups from context of rollup/current epic 💡 Potential idea
