Could we discuss what 'right and/or permission to share personal information' means?
I'm thinking about what people are asking for. They want a place to share family stories and pictures about living people that is not accessible to the general public, only those family members specifically included.
In Family Group Trees, if a grandparent wants to share a story about a grandchild who is a minor, can he add the grandchild's name into the Family Group Tree? Can he add the grandchild's birthdate into the Family Group Tree? Or should he wait for the child's parent to add that child into the tree before he can post a story about that grandchild?
Is this the same rule for adult grandchildren? Or would each adult grandchild need to be invited and accept the invitation before a grandparent should add stories about them?
What about cousins? If I want to add a story about me and my cousin (an adult), do I need to wait until my cousin has joined the Family Group & Family Group Tree? It is currently set that each person invited to the Family Group actually appears in the Family Group Tree first. So I would need to add my cousin to the tree, send her an invitation and then wait for her to accept the invitation before I could add a story about the two of us?
What if my cousin never accepts the invitation? Does that mean that I should not add that story to the Family Group Tree? Does that mean I should write that story in my regular memories and mark it private so that no one sees it, because my cousin is alive and I don't have permission from her to post the story that references her?
Would I need to add ALL of my aunts, uncles and cousins who appear in a photo taken at a family reunion before I should post that photo to the Family Group?
When adding an adult individual to the Family Group Tree whom I am intending to invite to the Family Group Tree, should I add only the person's name until they have accepted the invitation? Then that adult family member can add his own birthdate (and other information) if he so chooses?

The way I read the statement, is that the person does not need to be in the group at all. He or she just has to give permission for any information about them to be posted. For example, if I wrote a story about me and my uncle, even if my uncle had no interest in being in the group and I never added a living Family Tree profile for him to the group, that before I should upload the story and tag it to me, I would need his permission since he is in it. Is this the case?
Regarding inviting people, since currently we can only invite people by clicking on their name in the group tree, is the correct procedure to:
Call uncle and ask permission to create a living profile for him and add information and memories about him. If he says, "No," then do not add him to the tree. Since he is not in the tree he cannot be invited to join the group.
Ask him if it is still OK to add photos or other memories that he might be in that would be tagged to other people that are in the same memories. If he says, "No, I don't want anything online about me," then respect that and don't post anything that has him in it.
If he says, "Yes," also ask him if he wants to join the group. Create a profile for him in the group. Then invite him to join the group if he said he wanted to.
or, as @AnneLoForteWillson asks, what does this statement mean?
