sharing information across user is requirement for most web applications. What I do is , create a stringlistproperty with people who have right to write on that entity. sometime even use parent property if large number of people are sharing the model. things get complicated when there is very complex data structure with lots of hierarchy etc.
It will be good if you guys can provide something like usergroup api. and we can create group. add people to it. remove from it. and check if given user is belong to the group or not. so I can just add UserGroupProperty instead of string list property. ( and hence less stored data ). although this is achievable through datastore, making this as independent api will not force us to put usergroup in to parent property and unnecessarily create a entity group. ( as google has already solved this problem with doc , calender etc. extending same infra to this will b cool. ) . 0.002.
