Description

### Context

Playback policies currently disallow users from playing back videos that have a playback policy of `jwt` unless they've signed a JWT and use the token in the playback URL. As a result, if a user changes the playback policy in the dashboard to `jwt` they'll no longer be able to see the video in the dashboard.

Is there a way we can maintain the security of the jwt signed video and expose it in the dashboard?

### Requirements

A solution must:

- Allow users to be able to view the asset in the dashboard
- Not compromise the security of signed video
- Not require extra steps to sign video -- this workflow must be maintained
- Allow users to see stream health and viewership metrics
