Access control: Ability to read only vs control kodi via Chorus

[jez500]

So you can share Audio/Video library with friends but not allow them to control your Kodi instance (eg. no player controls)

I'd be keen to see this integrated with the profile users functionality which already exists in Kodi, which additionally allows you to provide more limited list of library sources... (share you videos but not you're photos).

Having both profile users and web-server users configuration might be a little over complicated.

Of course the above may be very difficult to implement. personally I'm fine with complicated and a complicated solution for this is better than none, but if I put a "for the good of Kodi" hat on one database of users seems better than two.

Yes that would be really fine :)
