The bug

When adding assets from another owner from a shared album to another shared album, these assets are not added to the shared album. The request gets an 'permission denied' with 'success': 'false', which seems to be the correct (as I am not the owner). The problem is that this issue is not reported to the user: you just get 0 assets added (or how how many assets you are actually the owner for). It would be nice to add a clearer error message because I left me confused at first.

Reproduction steps

2. Create a fresh shared album
2. Navigate to a 'source' shared album that contains assets that are not owned by the current user (but is shared with the current user)
3. Select one or more assets not owned by the current user
4. Use the `+` and `Add to Shared Album`
5. Select the destination shared album
6. The assets are not added to the destination album but it is unclear why that is
