Audio functions (microphone, speaker) not available for secondary accounts

[grillmaster13]

A secondary account is not able to listen to audio or use the microphone for shared devices unless "Allow Access Rights" is enabled. It this a bug, by design, or is there a setting I am missing?   I want to allow this second account to have audio functions, but I do not want to give them "access rights".

STEPS:

1. create a secondary account

2. share a camera with that account

3. set "Allow Access Rights" to OFF

4. login to that account

5. open a shared device

6. notice the audio icon (speaker) is disabled

7. notice the microphone icon is disabled

8. primary account: set "Allow Access Rights" to ON

9. secondary account: notice speaker and microphone are now available.

EXPECTED

6./7. secondary account has access to speaker and microphone on shared devices

PS: only tested on iOS

PPS: I don't actually know what "allow access rights" does.

Details on what those rights are:

The first link applies if you see "Library" as a menu option in the app.  The second link applies if you see "Feed" and Dashboard".

As you will see in the articles, access to the camera microphone does require access rights.
