 * QUESTION 1: We are building a crowd-facing system where each registered user 
   needs to be able to assign admins and editors for only THEIR submitted posts (
   not all posts on the site).
 * Examples
 * User1.editors= ed, mike, sally, pete
    User1.admins= ed, sally User1.editors= 
   pete
 * We have programmers and can do custom coding. The question is, do you think such
   a solution is possible with AAM at all, and if so, what specific features or 
   methods should be be examining first?
 * QUESTION 2: the approach above is already a compromise based on what we currently
   feel any plugin is likely to achieve with wordpress. But ideally, we wanted a
   user to allow specific users to assign specific roles for SPECIFIC posts. Back
   in the day, I believe this was called an ACL (accesss control list).
 * For example:
    Post1.editors= ed, mike, sally, pete, (and/or groupX? Post1.admins
   = ed, sally
 * If this is possible, please disregard question 1 and jump right to this one (
   2).
 * We are really desperate for a solution here. Thanks in advance.
