How to have user roles?

[oronoa]

I'm building a kind of a poor man's CMS where I have curators / editors and copy writers 

I need a way to limit what each type of user can do, 

Curator, can only create cards in the "INCOMING" list.

Editor moves from INCOMING to "COPY_QUEUE" list or to "REJECT" list.

copywriters can edit and write the copy on the card and move to "PUBLISH_QUEUE"

editor can fix final touches and move from "PUBLISH_QUEUE" to "PUBLISH"

I know Trello doesn't support real roles, but any hacks to accomplish something in this spirit? 

Thx

So I'm imaging a board infrastructure where you have a different board for each 'role' and only that role can edit that board. 

From those individual boards, use an addon like Placker to sync the cards added to a main board. 

In this way, each role maintains a different board, but you have a 'master' view where you can see all activity. 

This is an untested theory, but hope it starts you out with your own ideas.
