Description
What I did
I logged in to Keybase on a device that I use frequently but is owned by someone else.
What happened
I don't see anyway to permission a device with anything other than "root" access to my Keybase data.
What I expected to happen
I hoped Keybase would let me grant a device limited access to my Keybase account. Specifically, so that I could use Keybase on the device to chat and access specific teams, but not to be able to access other teams, wallet, etc.
Thoughts
Possibly this will be addressed by having multiple accounts, and by #8586, but this is about retaining a single persona, a single identity, and instead providing a distinction between what teams should be accessible on what devices.

Research direction
Start by reviewing this issue alongside the related multiple-accounts discussion in #8586. Define how one identity could grant a device access to chat and selected teams while excluding other teams, wallet data, and the rest of the account; done means those boundaries are enforceable on the target device.
