Add Document Category Permissions / Global List

It would be great to add a separate permission set for Document Categories themselves. Currently the ability to modify and/or delete document categories is tied to other permission sets. For instance, documents within a category can have permissions assigned that don't affect the category itself, so anyone with the permission to modify documents can also delete the category itself which causes all documents that are tagged within to become orphaned as "Unknown Category". This would allow us to lock the categories but still give people permisson to manage the documents within.

I recently had ticket number #756384 submitted, which requested to recategorize thousands of documents that were orphaned when one of our users deleted categories by mistake. Now, since I removed modify permissions for all of our users, they can no longer delete student documents that aren't needed and need to send the request to an administrator.
