Ah, I see.
So what is the internal, technical workflow for switching an activity to private 
(everything that happens from the point where the user taps "Save" in the 
Activity configuration dialog after having switched to private)?
I'd like to understand the inner workings (not on the code level, more like on 
an UML activity diagram level of detail) so that I can see how this can be best 
translated into a user workflow.
Thanks,
Thomas
