Add explicit access_types from the url
This does two things, it reduces the amount of repeated data (e.g.,
the checkAccess used to repeat the access_type that was already
specified in the url). At the same time, it allows for example the
'create' page to push its access_type to 'edit'.

"""
Takes two datetime objects and returns the time between d and now
as a nicely formatted string, e.g. "10 minutes". If d occurs after now,
then "0 minutes" is returned.
Units used are years, months, weeks, days, hours, and minutes.
Seconds and microseconds are ignored. Up to two adjacent units will be
displayed. For example, "2 weeks, 3 days" and "1 year, 3 months" are
possible outputs, but "2 weeks, 3 hours" and "1 year, 5 days" are not.
