Update permissions database Functionalities status: Was able to update available permissions scopes and associate roles. Now, administrators can manually assign privileges to students, staff, assistant staff. However, want to update ability to assign roles by default. Further, there's an odd issue where the groups I added are persistent, even across multiple re-installations.

Generally, want to shift from modifying the source code to writing custom plugins for nodebb. This way, we hopefully respect library interfaces and avoid unintended bugs. This hopefully provides some guidance on shifting towards that method.
