Thanks for the advice.
In the ticket I seem to have also mixed up experiments with projects. I meant
to say that the error occurs in the Experiment Overview page (I was trying to
accomplish your suggested method of checking that everything was shared - maybe
I don't need to bother now anyway, but the error still exists).

I think it would be better to have one project per experiment. Make sure
to always have the correct project activated when you create items and
they will automatically be shared to that project.
Manual sharing is only needed for items that are used in multiple
projects, typically labels, protocols, scanners, etc. But that is
usually done on the group-level (eg. to the EVERYONE group).
Of course you may do as you outline below, but I think it will generate
a lot of manual work when moving stuff between projects. The four
"projects" you mention below would probably work better as groups. If
you have a one-project-per-experiment approach you can then simply share
that project to the correct group.

Sharing works on individual objects only. It is not inherited. There is
one exception: Sharing a directory can also share all subdirectories and
files in that directory.

It is better to share such things to the EVERYONE group.

You can use the "Experiment overview" function (select a single
experiment and the click on the "Overview" tab). It will display
warnings for all items that the currently logged in user doesn't have
access to. But this user can of course not fix the permissions so you'll
need to login as a different user with proper permissions to fix it. But
this user doesn't get the permission warnings so you may have to work
with two different windows.

Can you please check your bug report and clarify some things. There is
no "Project summary" in BASE.
