Staff Can't Comment without Subscription

So I recently enabled commenting for paid members. However, I noticed that in doing this, staff can’t comment. It makes no sense for staff to pay to comment which means they are basically just paying stripe. I assume this is a bug and not the intended purpose.

You can add them as members manually and assign them any paid tier for free indefinitely.

That is a stupid way to go about it. By default, Staff should be able to comment since they are staff. You shouldn’t have to go through the additional layer of added additional actions to an account. Especially the admin account.

Related - if one is just trying to build and test a custom ghost site with paid tiers, one cannot just login as the site owner and view the content on the paid tier, and one cannot simply assign this access to the owner, one has to make a separate member account with access to the tier, thus two logins, once as owner, then as a member to do this testing. Cumbersome. Unnecessary.
