When scheduling plans on employees, activities may be assigned to people who don't have access to the record. It was managed locally in HR through a dummy model aggregating activities. However, it was removed and we replace it here by a generic solution that adds an entry in the systray: "Other activities". When clicking on that entry, it displays a list view of the activities assigned to the user for which he has no access to the related record. Those activities were not visible to the user before. Technical note: to allow displaying such records, we have modified the custom acl defined in python to allow users to read activities assigned to them even if they don't have access to the related record. [IMP] mail: allow to mark as done activity without record access When scheduling plans on employees, activities may be assigned to people who don't have access to the record, but they still need to mark them as done. And as marking as done (action_done on mail_activity) triggers a message post on the related record, that action cannot be executed by a user without access to the record. We change that here to allow user having delete/archive right on the activity, to be able as well to mark it as done (as the activity is archived/deleted at the end of the method _action_done, the user must at least have the right to do that to be able to mark as done the activity). [IMP] mail: add custom view for "other activities" When clicking on "Other activities" in the systray, a list of activities assigned to the user for which he has no access to underlying record is displayed. The default list allows to delete, archive, duplicate, ... activities but what we want is a readonly view. We add here a new view that doesn't allow any modification on the activities by removing those actions. Unfortunately, archive and unarchive action is not controllable with an attribute (nor by setting the active field as readonly in the view), so we create a very simple extension of the list view to disable it. We also add in the list view a button to mark an activity as done and a simple form view to see the details of the activity (note, ...). The "mark as done is not added in the form view as the activity is deleted causing an error because the form is still displayed and the record is gone. Note that those action are only removed from the client but the actions are not forbidden on the server side. [IMP] mail: limit performance impact of the systray To limit performance impact of the systray, we fetch by default only the last 1000 activities. That value can be configured with mail.activity.systray.limit config parameter. Note that this can also improve a bit the readability of the other activities view (for the standard activity view a pager is already present). [IMP] mail: add fallback for not deployed action/view To avoid crash on possibly not deployed action and related views (mail.mail_activity_without_access_action), we temporary add a fallback on existing action and views.
