Body: <p>Is it possible to downgrade or upgrade a CiviMember membership? 
  (upgrade = more access, more expensive / downgrade = less access, less expensive / both options need to be able to change joomla user group)
  If yes, how? I can only find information about renewing the current membership.</p>

Comments.Text: It would be great if the contact could do it at any time. We offer different levels of access on our website so if the contact decides to have access to more articles or products, it should be able to do it. Payments will be processed offline, so if contact decides to upgrade the membership it should be automatically approved and grant new level of access.

  However, I can't find anything to suggest that it actually made it into CiviMember.
