edocman tags filter modul - respect permissions of documents

Hello!
Tags get attached to documents. Documents have specific access groups or / and owners.
Tags should only be shown in the tags filter module if the actual user has the right to view / download / manage the documents.
In other words: show only tags that are relevant to the specific user.

There would be several strategies:
* a tag inherits the access level of the user who created it.
* a tag inherits the access rights of the document.
* a tag has no access rights but the module's logic shows only tags from documents that the user has access to.
* ...

It does not make sense to have a list of tags in the dropdown but there are no documents to access. In fact it can be a issue if the tag name reveals some sensitive data (names, ids, etc.) Since tags can be named freely (which is good) this case happend on my site. A tag revealed a name to a user who had no right to see that information.

Regards!
