1. Support user permissions …

   Users in our system can be given permission to three kinds of
   organization in the PDC (changemakers, funders, and data providers).
   These associations will allow them access to perform various actions in
   the context of those organizations.
   
   For instance, reading data, writing data, or managing other user
   associations. This list of abilities may change in future.
   
   We explored the concept of `user_roles` with foreign keys to different
   organization types (similar to the sources table) but decided to have
   three separate tables because they are slightly distinct concepts.  For
   instance, there will probably be certain access types that only apply to
   certain types of organization in future.
   
   Another design decision was to have the permissions in terms of granted
   access type rather than higher level role. For instance, instead of
   roles like "administrator" and "editor" we have action oriented roles
   like "read" and "manage".
   
   This provides more granularity and is also more explicit about what
   a given role / access type actually allows.
