 Replying to [comment:7 DrewAPicture]:
 > In the case I outlined, content editors pull uploaded content from the
 Media Library, so the photo people upload the media with all associated
 EXIF data and that's all they have to do. But once they hit upload, they
 can't edit any of the associated metadata for that media without giving
 them `edit_posts`. ''That's'' the problem.

 Lets go step by step:

 - The author writes a post.
 - The photo guy uploads a photo.
 - The editor (or the author) inserts the photo in the post.

 So who decides on what goes in the attachment title, caption and
 description? The photo guy? Also after the new post is published does the
 photo guy need the right to edit title, caption and description?

 That's where more granular permissions come in effect: you may want to
 give the photo guy permission to only edit "unattached" attachments, or
 only edit attachment meta, tags, etc.
