I do not want to give staff access to the full administer Civi permissions but I want to allow them to manage and create contribution pages - How does one do this?.. right now all I get is access denied errors

I do not think this is possible, actually. Creating a standard contribution page is inherently considered an administrative function. If there was a real need for this, it could be custom coded perhaps.

There is a solution for this!

The solution is to allow staff to manage contribution pages by giving them the administer CiviCRM permission (gasp!) but hiding the Administer menu (celebrate!). You hide the administration menu by requiring a permission for that menu that is somewhat obscure and that you only want admins to be able to do (delete contacts, administer dedupe rules, etc).

In drupal permissions, give the role (fundraising) the permission 'Administer CiviCRM'
In CiviCRM go to Administer > Customize> Navigation Menu
right click on 'Administer' and choose 'edit'
Move 'delete contacts' (or rare permission of your choosing) to the right-hand input bos
choose the operator 'and'
click 'save'

Please note this solution is completely insecure. Users would actually have full access to all CiviCRM admin pages, were they to browse to one via the URL. The main URL being civicrm/admin of course which would give a list of all pages....

I would not recommend such.

I also have a need to grant to someone the ability to create new contribution pages and manage existing ones without granting them full CiviCRM admin permissions. These seems like a natural role for someone to have as fundraiser but not a CiviCRM administrator.

I for one would like to see a new permission which grants all permissions for the Contributions menu without granting any overall CiviCRM admin permissions.
