Roles and permissions in Manuals

Which built in role can read, write, approve and administer what.

Manuals has its own permissions for manuals, pages, translations, releases, machines, sources and proposals, each with read, write, approve and admin levels, plus analytics read and settings admin. The built in roles get them as listed below. Authors write; approving and publishing stay with Owner and Admin. Custom roles can combine these permissions differently.
