Current situation
The current user's role on a project isn't reachable from expressions, so authors can't set up expression-based behaviour that depends on the user's role.
What we want
A new Mergin variable, @mm_project_role, returning the current user's role on the active project, usable in expressions and form default values (like the other mm_* variables in the mobile app).
Expected behavior (user's view)
- Returns the user's role on the open project as text.
- Works offline and stays correct after syncing.
- Empty when signed out or the project isn't a Mergin project.
The same expression must give the same result in QGIS and in the field, so the variable name and role values need to match the plugin exactly.
TBD: which role values users will see (reader/editor/writer/owner, and whether admin appears). Should mirror what the app already shows for roles.
