Hi, I understand that users can be assigned [specific roles](https://help.veeqo.com/en/articles/6969529-users-overview#h_78cc6b5a1d) to control the level of access they have within the Veeqo UI. I was wondering whether these permissions also pertain to the Veeqo API when authenticating with an API key or OAuth client? I would like to access the API with read-only permissions - essentially permit `GET` requests only for all resources. Is this possible currently?
