Who gets to change associations? Friction, portals and permissions

HubSpot changed who can add, remove and edit associations. I was hoping it would take friction out. I'm worried it adds some.

What I wanted: let more people manage associations without being able to edit the record itself. The update says you need edit access to the record too.

Chris made the point I keep thinking about. The people who own the relationship are the best ones to fix the data around it. If your portal makes them ask someone else, that's worth a look.
