Allow Sharing of CFP Plans with permission assignment via API

The CFP api documentation doesn't include a facility to programmatically share plans. This would be very useful where a plan has large numbers of cost objects. Without this there is a large manual overhead in sharing plans. This could be done in bulk with the api and automation of plan sharing for new objects/changes of cost owners could be implemented by customers.

    Yes, good point. If the UI allowed a more bulk mechanism for sharing rather than individual cost objects one by one that would be good. For example, loading in a csv of people to share with mapped to the cost objects, or selection of a dimension that holds the user name to associate with the cost objects and share to them.

    On the surface, giving you access to more APIs to automate more stuff is a good thing and something we will continue to do going forward. However, I first like to understand what is missing from product that makes it hard to share a large plan/many cost owners to see if we can improve that. APIs shouldn't be a replacement for the UI to perform an essential task (share a plan with many cost owners).
