Description
## Problem
There's no way to see permissions if apps are accessing things like calendars, contacts, or email
## Proposal
Show toggles for access to EDS interfaces:
```
org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.AddressBook10
org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Calendar8
org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Sources5
org.gnome.evolution.dataserver.Subprocess.Backend.*
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed EDS interfaces: AddressBook10, Calendar8, Sources5, and Subprocess.Backend.*. Determine how access toggles should be represented and which applications or permissions they govern; done means users can view and control those permissions consistently.
