Limited power users

An earlier thread got me thinking about power users again. Wanted to get your thoughts.

Right now I have a quota for artists and a quota for labels. The label quota is a power user and they can create artist accounts.

Now, sometimes artists might release something under a label, in which case the label would create the artist account and upload the song. Sometimes the artist might be independent and release something on his own, or with another label.

I understand that I can link an artist's account and a label's account so that the label can administer the artist's account.

First question: Is this the same as if the label had created the profile themselves? i.e. is a profile created by a power user and a profile created by a different account and then linked the same relationship? I would think whoever created the profile first is the profile "owner".


The bigger problem is for an artist that works with multiple labels. How do you give another user access to your account in order to create content, without giving them the ability to manage all of it.
Ideally, what I would like to do is link content instead of profiles. I.e. if I am a label, and an artist has given me permission to publish to their page on their behalf, when I upload a song, it appears on both their profile and my profile. I have full control over the ASSET, but not the profile. Do you guys see any way to develop something like this?

Jamroom's not setup to have this level of user/power user granularity - you would have to code something custom to support this by making a copy of each module you want to do this in and check in the create/update/create_save/update_save/delete_save views if the user is a power user (i.e. jrUser_is_power_user()) and setup your work flow accordingly.
