The app I am working on needs to check the participant list for certain participants that match a name pattern and give them permission to record.

But how do I check if the participant already has permission to record before making that call?

Is there a call to see a single participants details or permissions?

It looks like the information we return about a participant does not include information about whether they are allowed to record. This could possibly be a future feature request, or an additional API request: [https://portal.productboard.com/nsh3c2ofzhlj5rstqxwnbfp4/tabs/27-now](https://portal.productboard.com/nsh3c2ofzhlj5rstqxwnbfp4/tabs/27-now)
