Role based access control about markus HOT 3 CLOSED

@benjaminvialle @reidka If we were interested in pursuing this, there's https://github.com/ryanb/cancan

However, to achieve the necessary granularity in the permissions for flexibility, this could become quite complex. We could end up with several different permissions per controller. Given the current division of the system into 3 primary roles, I feel as though we wouldn't benefit much from the added complexity. I wonder how many would actually use anything other than the default roles/permissions.

It's not a prior task today cause we have other things to do but we can keep that in mind. Thank you @danielstjules :)

I'd like to keep roles simple in MarkUs, so I'm going to use my veto.
