Users, access restrictions, GRANT etc

sqlite has no access restrictions, it is assumed that anyone with access to the OS, has access to the data. In a distributed system, we might want to add some security features, like authentication, authorization. RBAC etc.

Is this really in scope for libsql?

If the SQLite use-case is to package a lightweight database with your application to be closer, and the libsql goal is to do that but distributed, would access be treated the same as the rest of the application?

Then again, building something like Cloudflare's D1 would likely need it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Right now we're simply tossing in ideas, this one can either get prioritized or dropped, but it's good to have it listed to start with.
