Thanks, Olaf, for responding. Still hoping to hear from others describing their
needs re. levels of authorization for *administering* Matterhorn; I'd hate to
move forward only taking into account the needs of ETH and Berkeley.
Or should I assume that folks are only concerned with authorization as it
pertains to *viewing* published media? (Thanks, Pete, for giving us input on
that side of things.)

Many thanks for making those edits! (Balsamiq can be quite annoying at times!)
"Make changes" was simply the wording I used in an alternative design. I was
using all three ("Manage", "Make changes", "Edit") to mean essentially the same
thing and just hadn't settled on one; it's the kind of thing we can change
easily later on.

Good to know. So far I haven't heard that anybody needs Series permissions to
be more fine-grained than "Manage".

If a Roles UI (similar to what I sketched) included "Trim Recordings" and
"Authorize publishing" (or something like that) as privileges that could be
checked, wouldn't that meet your needs? (I realize that the current Review/Trim
UI doesn't separate out these actions, but it seems like it could.) Or am I
misunderstanding your needs?

Good! We'll be in touch to set something up.
(But don't assume you're off the hook for talking about metadata! I need to get
back to you on that, too!)
