Open Stack

On our latest irc meeting I raised a concern about public package visibility. Here’s the commit that caused my concerns https://review.openstack.org/#/c/213682/

We currently have «catalog» and «package definitions» pages in our dashboard. The former contains packages that the user can add in his environment, and the latter contains packages the user can edit. This means, that admin user sees all the packages on package definitions page, while simple user can only see packages from his tenant.
Lately we’ve added a filter, similar to the one «Images» dashboard has, that separates packages into «project» «public» and «other» groups, to ease selection, but this unfortunately introduced some negative UX, cause non-admin users now see the filter and expect all the public packages to be there.

This can be solved in a couple of ways.
1) Remove the filter for non-admin user, thus removing any concerns about public-packages. User can still sort the table by pressing on the public header.
2) Renaming the filter to something like «my public» for non-admin 
3) Allowing user to see public packages from other tenants, but making all the edit options grey, although I’m not sure if it’s possible to do so for bulk operation checkboxes.
4) Leave everything as is (ostrich algorithm), as we believe, that this is expected behaviour

Personally I like #1 as it makes more sense to me and feels more consistent than other options.

Ideas/opinions would be appreciated.
