Membership Actions Explanation

In most cases the membership actions and what they stand for are self-explanatory, but not always. Consider this a definitive list of what each action does, and the kind of scope it has.

Actions with [user] apply only to that user and their content. Actions with [admin] apply to all users and content. So for example, “files delete [admin]” allows a user with that action enabled to delete any files on the site. The ability for a user to delete their own files is included with “files add”. The same logic applies for any edit actions or similar.
