Implement Team-Based Admin Privileges for Applications

The Problem

Currently, only the original creator of an application can edit it. This creates a significant bottleneck for teams that rely on a shared application. If the creator is unavailable, no one else can make critical adjustments, such as adding a new API. This dependency on a single person slows down development and can halt progress entirely.

The Solution

I propose introducing a system that allows the application creator to grant administrative privileges to other users or team members. This would enable teams to manage shared applications collaboratively and ensure business continuity.

Proposed Privilege Levels

To address potential security concerns, these privileges could be tiered, allowing the creator to assign the appropriate level of access to each team member.

Level 1: Limited Admin

Can add new features (e.g., new APIs).

Cannot change or delete anything set by the original creator.

Level 2: Partial Admin

Includes all "Limited Admin" permissions.

Can also edit existing features and configurations.

Level 3: Full Admin

Includes all "Partial Admin" permissions.

Can delete the application.

Can grant or revoke admin privileges for other users.

Benefits

Implementing this feature would:

Improve Team Collaboration: Allow teams to work together seamlessly on a single application.

Eliminate Bottlenecks: Remove the dependency on a single person for application management.

Increase Efficiency: Speed up processes and prevent unnecessary delays.

Reduce Duplication: Avoid the need for teams to create multiple, redundant applications.
