[BUG] Allow project creators to choose mapping and validation permissions on projects based on all contributor experience levels in the TM #6686
Labels
type: enhancement
Improving an existing functionality
Describe the bug
It is my understanding that currently available project permissions fall into the following categories;
all users
Users with intermediate or advanced level
selected teams
This does not make use of all of the currently employed user experience levels.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
To increase the likelihood that projects progress continuously, and to improve the quality of data produced (particularly on more challenging projects), I think that it would be beneficial to make the permissions more granular and have the following categories;
all users
Users with intermediate or advanced level
Advanced users
selected teams
This would allow for the following combinations of mapping and validation permissions to be employed.
Project creators can select standard validation teams like the HOT global validators, however capacity is limited. Furthermore project creators are even less likely to have specific mapping teams available to contribute to projects, so generally that option is not on the table.
Given that three difficulty levels are offered for projects uploaded to the tasking manager, it would make a certain kind of sense (to me) that project creators have at least three options for mapper permissions available to them.
This change will also add an extra option to validation permissions which I think will be beneficial in terms of data quality, because the previous jump was essencially from intermediate to selected teams. Moreover, it would allow project creators and managers to more precisely strike the balance of contributor capacity and data quality for any given project.

Additional Context
This change could also be beneficial to contributors (provided that project creators and managers correctly choose project permissions), becasue they will be able to better search for and participate in projects of an appropriate difficulty level. It is my hope that this will also reduce the average time and effort required to validate tasks.
