Research direction
Start by reviewing the proposed borg mount workflow, including the optional mount/unmount buttons and pre-configured commands. Resolve how same-system permissions, ACL limitations, and different-system uid/gid mismatches should be handled. Done means users can safely access appropriate restore data without permanently locking the repository.

Description
not a daily task, but it may happen if the admin is away and it would be nice if users could help themselves: restore some files they lost / they want to restore to an earlier version.
borg mount offers quite easy access for users who can access it and deal with a file manager or other tools to locate the data they want.
access / permissions need to be carefully dealt with - likely a user should not get access to files they usually would not be able to access.
same-system borg mount - uid/gid/permissions apply (but ACLs are not implemented via FUSE).
different-system borg mount - difficult, uid/gid often does not match.
so, guess the easiest thing that could work is an optional mount/unmount button that just executes a pre-configured mount / unmount command.
Note: borg mount locks the repo, so it can't be mounted permanently.
