Is this a feature for the backend or frontend?

Frontend

What would you like?

User roles:

Manager: new kind of user with all rights regarding lists and cards (same as the existing Editor role)
Editor: users without list editor right (not able to add, to edit title, to change order or delete lists)
Operator: new kind of user like viewer but with the ability just to move cards between lists (not able to add, edit or delete lists and cards)
Viewer: no lists or cards editor, can optionally add comments (same as the existing Viewer role)

List features (just for Managers):

background color for a list that will be propagated to all cards under the list
max width in pixels for lists (to see all or as many lists without the need to scroll horizontally to see all lists from board)

Cards features:

pinned cards on top (just for Managers and Editors)
frozen cards (drawing frozen cards between lists is not allowed for Operators and Viewers)
disable the ability to add comments to the card by Operators and Viewers

Boards feature:

backup/restore board settings and content (lists and cards) to/from an external file

Why is this needed?

The application may have context-dependent applicability and these new features could be useful for different types of users.
