Current State (before this commit):
Studio, as of today doesn't have a way to restrict a user to
create a course in a particular organization. What Studio
provides right now is a CourseCreator permission which gives
an Admin the power to grant a user the permission to create
a course.
For example: If the Admin has given a user Spiderman the
permission to create courses, Spiderman can now create courses
in any organization i.e Marvel as well as DC.
There is no way to restrict Spiderman from creating courses
under DC.
Purpose of this commit:
The changes done here gives Admin the ability to restrict a
user on an Organization level from creating courses via the
Course Creators section of the Studio Django administration
panel.
For example: Now, the Admin can give the user Spiderman the
privilege of creating courses only under Marvel organization.
The moment Spiderman tries to create a course under some
other organization(i.e DC), Studio will show an error message.
This change is available to all Studio instances that
enable the FEATURES['ENABLE_CREATOR_GROUP'] flag.
Regardless of the flag, it will not affect any instances that choose
not to use it.

Admin ("Instructor") - Can edit and assign permissions to other users
Normal ("Staff") - Can edit
User - Can view the library and use content from it but cannot edit it or its blocks.
- has_course_access renamed to has_course_author_access for clarity
- Changed doc string to clearly state that it determines whether or not
a user has write access to a course
This commit updates common/djangoapps.
These keys are now objects with a limited interface, and the particular
internal representation is managed by the data storage layer (the
modulestore).
For the LMS, there should be no outward-facing changes to the system.
The keys are, for now, a change to internal representation only. For
Studio, the new serialized form of the keys is used in urls, to allow
for further migration in the future.
