Show a user / moderator all the rooms shared with him directly

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When we create rooms and share them with normal users (on Internal Restricted) or moderators, the links to the rooms must always be stored once again in the cloud or sent. If a user is activated as administrator, he sees the room directly in the BBB menu item.

We have a concept where all users should access the rooms directly through Nextcloud. In order for this to work directly via the extension, we had to enable all users as administrators and then used CSS to hide all actions so that you only see the room name and can start BBB there.

Describe the solution you'd like If rooms are shared with users as members or moderators it would be great if they could see the rooms directly in the BBB menu item (without all the settings you can set as admin). This way links don't have to be shared again but users can directly access all rooms shared with them.

The idea of the room list / manager is to show all rooms which the user can configure. If you would show there also rooms which the user has explicit access, this could confuse the user if there are rooms without internal access which are not shown there. Technical users know that it is not possible to show e.g. public rooms there, but the average user maybe not. This is probably not important for your use case, but in general I guess it is.

To have a proper list of all rooms you probably have to cache a list of accessed and shared rooms and show this in another table. If you have time, a pr would be appreciated.
