[Sharing] Guest users cannot expose a port

[svenefftinge]

Describe the bug

Guest users on shared workspaces cannot expose a port.
The pop up is shown, but pressing expose doesn't do anything.

Workaround:

Enter the port in a .gitpod.yml and reload the browser.

Going to be obsolete with next deployment, as users as well as guest users will automatically have access to all ports.

I actually did the workaround but still can't show the running app. Is there anything else that I can do? Thanks for the help!

[svenefftinge]

I tried that myself before posting it here and it worked for me. To avoid missunderstandings here is what I did:

1. created a .gitpod.yml in the root of the project with the following contents

ports:
 - port: 4000

2. shared the workspace with someone. The person needs to be logged in with gitpod.
3. start a webserver, e.g. python3 -m http.server 4000

The guest user should the a notification, asking whether to preview or open in browser.

The fix/change is now deployed in production.
