[Enhancement]: New user permissions for managing podcasts

Describe the feature/enhancement

Adding new podcasts and downloading episodes to the server will be available soon so we need specific user permissions for this.

Adding podcasts via the app still seems to be restricted to admin only users. With both issues closed, is there plans to allow non-admin users this ability?

Just wanted to chime in that I’d love to see this developed further. I’ve got members of my household who I would trust to add content to the server, and space to hold it, but I don’t want to give them full blown admin (myself being one, I log in w/root when I need to do admin things but use a non-admin account the rest of the time).

Thanks for mentioning, but the best way to support feature requests is leaving a "thumbs up" reaction to the top comment.

That's fine and dandy, but I wasn't going to remember to come back and look at my likes 😆 . Did that too now.

I don't have time or JavaScript skill to implement this currently, but here are some pointers if anyone else wants to take a crack at it.
