More Fine-Grained Custom Roles

Our developers need to access databases from home or an office location from time to time. They are not Project Owners and should not have broad sweeping administrative privileges over the databases. In some cases they may be outsource workers who would only have read-only views on the data. However, they do need to be able to connect to the databases. Currently, you need a Project Owner role to be able to add an IP address to the whitelist and allow remote access. Please add the ability to create custom roles for Atlas users, which would enable us to create a new set of more fine-grained permissions. In particular I would like to be able to add a role to a user who was either Database Read/Write or Database Read Only which allowed them a specific limited permission to: - Add Current IP Address (temporarily - restrict time period to <= 1 day)
