Description
What do you think about implementing a User Group system? Here's 2 implementations of how we could use a group system in Opal:
- Category Based - I'm thinking A group will be allowed certain permissions(CRUD) to item categories. All users in a certain group can then, create, edit, update, delete items from a certain category. This will allow for better collaboration between a group of users.
- Item Object Based - Certain Groups will be allowed assigned certain permissions(CRUD) to specific Item Objects. For instance, the Reviewers group would be allowed to create new reviews to items, and the Review Moderators group would be allowed to edit/delete reviews.
On a separate note, If we implement User Groups, We should also add a System Setting(type: Registration) that specifies the default group for new users.

Brainstorm: We could also add a new Model that's called: GroupPluginPermissions. This lets you specify which groups can can create/update/read/delete a certain plugin type. This would let better collaboration between users, since users of a certain group can add images to other groups.
If we do this, we should also add an approval feature(is_approved) for each type of plugin object created for an item, so the item creator can approve items added by other users, etc.

Completed Group Plugin Permissions code for changing a group's permissions in regards to plugins for any item. This will be the first Group Permission type to be active. Through this particular set of Permissions, you can change what groups can do to Items system-wide. For example, if you wanted anyone to be able to add Images to one of your Items, subject to your approval, this can be done!
The next step is to add all the permissions functions into the various plugin actions.
