Are there loop holes when using "Manage Content and Structure"?

I had users in the contribute group and they weren't able to perform copy or move from "Manage Content and Structure". I had to grant Manage list permission to this users in order to use "Manage Content and Structure". The manage list permission lets these user manage the list or library which is we are trying to prevent. Users add columns without good practice or a view with 10000 items in return. These are reasons we dont want users to have manage list access.

What are my options?
