Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
In order for a user to be able to submit a review request, the user needs to have the "reviews | review request | Can edit review request" permission. However, this grants the user the ability to edit any aspect of that review request. It appears that the "reviews | review request | Can change status" and "reviews | review request | Can submit as another user" don't come into play here at all, or at least don't override the edit permission. I have a script that automatically submits reviews when their code is merged to master, but I'd like a secure user for this script that can ONLY submit reviews, not edit them or do anything else. 

What operating system are you using? What browser?
CentOS 6.3, not that it matters.

Please provide any additional information below.

The "can change status" should be the appropriate permission. If that's not working, then there's a bug.

Are you unable to change status through the API? Or the web UI? Or both?
