App workspace's have an option to set members as 'Admin' and 'Member'. Replacing 'Member' with two options 'Edit Member' and 'View Member' would give flexibility with setting member permissions. Some members you want to collaborate & design with (edit), other's members to show content to and get feedback (view), in the development cycle you need both before publishing. Currently, you can only have ALL members with the ability to either edit or view.

If we can properly support this, it would be a good addition

We have consumers of information and contributors of information within the same workgroups. I was shocked that it was not already a standard feature!!

It is important to be able to set appropriate permissions depending on the user's role in the organization as it relates to the workspace

Please add this! It would make collaborating vs. sharing so much more convenient.

Taking this a step further would be to allow the Edit Members the ability to only 'Save As' an existing report unless they Published it in the first instance

I'm quite surprised this is not already a feature. Of course, you would want the ability to allow users read only access while others have edit capabilities.
