More advanced permissions

I'll keep it simple:  Instead of everybody just being straight admin and contributor for each game page, it's better to have permissions for being able to edit the actual page, meta data, uploads, and moderating the comments.  Of course, the more permission levels, the better.  Just putting it out there.  This is a huge issue with us, and every other pug dev wants to deface the page and split.

Admin

What's a "pug" dev? Could you tell me more about why you want some people to edit certain parts of the page although you can't trust them to not deface your page? Does it not make sense to have trusted person make the edits? 

BTW, You can already assign moderators to your comments without giving them edit access to the page.

Basically, each game jam, you end up with randos that you don't really know.  They want credit for the game, so they wanted to be added as an admin and a contributor so that they can make the game show up on their page.  However, a lot of these types end up butting heads with the rest of the team, and, long story short, you don't want to trust these kinds of people because they can-- and will --edit the page in ways you don't approve, or even delete the download files.

So, I need a way to give people credit on their Itch.io profile page without actually allowing them to have access to edit the game page, because that just causes a world of stress.
