Author = the user that created the initiative in the first place
Member = user that was accepted as a member in the promoter committee
Currently members have the same permissions as the author of the initiative. A member can send the initiative to technical validation (without a way to cancel) remove and accept other members. This creates a high level of uncertaintety around the process of drafting an initiatives. We added versioning so we can at least track changes made by everyone.
Here is an exhaustive permission table for members and authors : https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/11473995/101887291-f073f400-3b9c-11eb-8c74-e01925d55bf2.png
Describe the solution you'd like
We think that distinguishing the permissions of the initial author and the co-author would help solve this issue.
Here's the updated permission table that we propose implementing :

The reasons why we are proposing to differentiate the permissions between authors and members
- Initiatives, the way they are currently implemented are not error tolerant. If you send the initiative to technical validation there is no way of going back to the « create » state ;
- Collaboration on the initiative texts are limited, most of time the text is drafted on collaborative pad outside of Decidim. In this context it makes sense to centralize core actions (sending to technical validation, accepting, rejecting and revoking members) on the author to avoid coordination mistakes ;
Essentially we find that the main purpose of the promoter committee is to have a way to have multiple authors as condition to publication and to display them on the initiative page.
