Viewing post in Add granularity to admin privileges for non admin team members

I found two archived posts about this from 5 years ago that never went anywhere:

https://itch.io/t/261383/more-advanced-permissions

https://itch.io/t/270049/individual-permissions

as well as this github issue

https://github.com/itchio/itch.io/issues/1271

The official way seems to be to create a collection and display the collection on your page then according to the github issue, though i have not tried that yet.

Its dissapointing that this is not possible directly, i have a project that my team continued for another team, they of course want to display it on their page as well but i dont know them, and i would prefer if they dont have permissions to upload builds anymore and such as they are not part of the team anymore. This is not just about the possibility of them defacing the page, but also a feels like a security risk, if every collaborator who wants to display a game on their page can also upload new builds as an admin?

Is there really no a way to add someone as a contributor without giving them admin rights? Or giving someone only the priviledge of working on the page but not uploading new builds?

Exactly the main issue for me is that often teams have roles, and as people join and leave projects their roles will change, I don’t want to have to remove someone as a collaborator when they leave the team, because then they don’t get credit for their work, but I also am not comfortable giving them full unfettered access to do whatever they want. Not to say it’s likely unless I have some kind of viral hit, but I’m not comfortable with the idea that if my collaborators account were, to as an example, get hacked by a malicious actor, Someone could then upload malware disguised as my game.

The whole collection issue isn’t really sustainable either because if you have 10 games with different collaborators they’d each need to create their own collection which seems kind of silly plus collections are always presented BELOW the main uploads, so someone can’t highlight a game at the top of their page

Not considering even any kind of granularity At the VERY least there should be an option to let someone be added as a collaborator and it on their page, but not give them any project permissions to modify the project.
