Folder Connections using File System Privileges

Could a feature be added that allows Qlik Sense to use the credentials of the user to determine access of folders in files in a folder type connection?

Or could you specify the credentials for a user or system account to use when accessing the folders and files in a folder type connection?

This would allow administrators to be more granular in the security they can provided to the contents of a folder type connection.

Example: Allowing some users to READ QVD's from a specific connection. While other users could WRITE QVD's using the file system rights. Because the users credentials are passed to the file system.
Or creating a READ connection and a WRITE connection. So that the connection determines what the user can do to the content in a folder. This could done by identifying the user at the connection level and assigning file system access for that user or system account.
