Add Experience Builder Custom Widget Upload Privilege in Portal

My idea is that there should be a custom Experience Builder widget upload privilege in Portal. Currently, the only requirement to add a custom ExB widget to Portal is having administrator privileges according to this documentation. However, there isn't a specific administrator privilege that enables the ability to add custom widgets. The only requirement is that the Portal account have at least any one administrator privilege.

I understand limiting the ability to add custom widgets to only admins for security reasons. However, I also think that should be the organization's decision to specify who gets to add custom widgets, and I think a privilege based approach to this would work great.

Currently, the only way to accomplish giving someone the ability to add custom widgets without making them a full admin is giving them a "low risk" random administrator privilege. 

My idea is that there should be a specific role that provides the ability to upload custom widgets. I find it odd that any one admin role provides the ability to add custom widgets, and I think that task should be a specific role that we can assign to users.

This geonet post inspired this idea.

I definitely support this idea! We have developers on our team who need to upload custom ExB widgets, but do not need to be admins on ArcGIS Enterprise. A specific ExB widget role permission (maybe not included in the default Publisher permissions) would be very helpful to have so our devs could accomplish their projects without our admins needing to assign unneeded admin privileges.
