Recycle bin: allow non-admins to access the recycle bin?

[davisagli]

This is a question about #4168

Currently only admins can access the recycle bin (it's protected with the Zope "Manage portal" permission).

This raises 2 questions for me:

1. If an editor has access to edit in part of the site, should they be able to access the recycle bin and restore items in that part? This would be nice to support, but I can imagine there would be a lot of edge cases to handle. I think it's okay if we release this feature for only admins first, and then maybe add support for other editors later.

2. Should site administrators also have access to the recycle bin? I would say they should; they usually have access to all content operations. It would be best if we define a new permission for accessing the recycle bin, instead of using "Manage portal". Then an admin can change who has access if needed.

umm, defining a new permission for accessing the recycle bin feels more appealing to me...

[davisagli]

@rohnsha0 Yes, that's my recommendation for now.

@rohnsha0 @davisagli I am wondering what our goal for this PLIP is. Do we plan to ship this with Plone 6.2 (end of 2025, early 2026) or Plone 7 (2026/2027)? I don't want to put any time pressure on this, just asking for our long-term planning and our state-of-the-planet keynote.

@tisto I planned it for 6.2
Will be starting the development of changes suggested by @davisagli

Currently I'm out of the loop, bt will be resuming things frm coming weeks!
