more flexible roles

   I'd like to have some more flexibility in the roles I can assign to users. 

I would like tag permissions to work similar to policy permissions where I can give someone the permission to create or edit tags - but I want to be able to deselect the ability for them to modify/delete tags I created. Right now - if I give a user the ability to delete tags - they can then go and delete a tag I created - so it's all or nothing. I like the way policies work where I can prevent them from deleting some tags - but they can create their own.

It would be nice if it were heirarchical as well - so I create a parent tag called "Clients" and the user can create/edit any nested tags under it but not be able to edit/delete the tag "Clients" for example.

I'd like to be able to give/not give out the ability to manage service jobs. Right now, no one has Manage Service Jobs yet everyone can create/execute/delete any service job. I'd like to be able to give someone the ability to view only/edit service jobs by role.

	Thank you for the suggestion on more granular role permissions. We will investigate adding this ability for a future update. The manage service jobs issue was addressed in 5.7 (and will therefore also work correctly in all subsequent versions).
