As a newsroom that works closely together with other newsrooms in the same Arc environment, we need more options to give out permissions in author service. In the current state I can give an editor access to author service - or forbid it. What I'd like to is allow editor A to edit, but not delete authors. To allow editor B to edit and delete authors. To allow editor C to only edit their own profile.
This makes a lot of sense -- thanks for the suggestion. We will keep this in mind as we plan the future of Author Service.
