Allow researchers to add their own Media Mentions and Grants via the Add Content menu.
Currently, Media Mentions and Grants can only be added via the admin side. Researchers should have this ability as well. Media Mentions (MM) and Grants could be added via the Add Content menu, with submissions approved by the library (similar to assets). The library would either need to enable these tabs on the researcher profiles, or they would automatically appear if MM or Grants are added.

Grants can be added by researchers when they deposit an asset. It isn't quite the same as being able to add a grant on its own but it does get to partial functionality. However, when researchers have done this, I have needed to recreate the grant correctly, so I would prefer if this was an option an institution could choose to turn on or not. The media mentions definitely should be something a researcher can add on their own (along with connecting a media mention to an asset - https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/929326-esploro/suggestions/44804317-link-media-mention-to-asset )

I will add that there should also be an option to IMPORT media mentions. There is already an option to import grants. The option to import media mentions would make them much easier to add.
