I would like to allow regular users to trigger certain events (create annotation, likes, votes) on a given topic whereby the topic timestamp is updated.

I noticed that the `POST /t/:topic_id/change-timestamp` request returns a `403 (Forbidden)` whereas if I am logged in as admin it works just fine.

What should I do in order to allow the timestamp of a topic to be updated by non-admin folks?
