Description

Previously: #3176

The Group Library allows library items to be organized into folders. These folders can be created in the Edit context for individual items (via the 'Add new folder' option in the folder selection dropdown). But there are no other tools available for managing folders. Based on team discussions, we need roughly the following abilities:

- View the group's folders (and item counts?)
- Edit existing folder names
- Delete existing folders (which would unlink the items in the folder, but would not delete them)

Sonja suggested she might have a first pass at thinking about what such an interface might look like. My initial suggestion is that we mimic the two-screen approach for the library itself: a folder-list view, and an add/edit/delete for individual folders. Then, we just need some mechanism in the UI where you can enter the 'Edit Folders' view - Sonja suggested perhaps an additional dropdown item on the Folders filter dropdown, though I fear that this might be a bit too buried and not totally semantic.

Preliminarily, I'd suggest that only group administrators be able to access the folder management tools. Otherwise the permissions questions get too confusing.
