Digital badge management for issuers, earners, and consumers

If you choose to use the BADGR_APPROVED_ISSUERS_ONLY flag, this means new user accounts will not be able to define new issuers (though they can be added as staff on issuers defined by others) unless they have the Django user permission 'issuer.add_issuer'. The recommended way to grant users this privilege is to create a group that grants it in the /staff admin area and addthe appropriate users to that group.
