Please update 'Understanding Discourse Trust Levels' — or is there a different doc?

I have started a grid. :slight_smile: I have taken the excellent one from this post - Is there a Trust Level Permissions Table? - #10 by lionel-rowe and tried to update and condense it a little. It definitely needs another going over, but I thought I’d share now in case anyone had any notes. Any pointers on what else to include/correct? New_User? Category moderator? Plug-in section (eg Solutions)? Better grouping?

Draft Grid

:warning: Under construction!

TL = Trust Level dependant
