Would be great! Having the permission info per user available would make
implementing user context actions much easier/useful I suppose.

Good idea to do this p2p indeed. Would love to try this out and document it.
May take me some time to get at that point though.

Alright. Sounds like a nice mini project to write in Go :)

I figured it would be a nice feature to have the stats and recordings list
as a single-page view inside Pyrite, just for the people who have the role access
rights. Iirc, the recordings page is flat html, which is fine, but to consume it
in an existing app, it may be easier to have a json representation of the recording
files. Another direction may be to implement this in a second process, because the
information is all on disk already(just like with the admin ui). I suppose that
would be the way to go.
