Description

Context

Sometimes you have to access the server log, because some info might not be availabe in the client (i.e. #3540).

Description

A menu entry to access the server log would be great. It could of course be reserved for highly privileged users (i.e. users that have modify permissions in the root channel).

Mumble component

Both

OS-specific?

Research direction
Examine the Mumble client UI code for menu entries (MainWindow.cpp) and the server's log output mechanism. Investigate how permissions are checked (e.g., ServerHandler). The feature requires a new network message for the client to request logs. Review comments for any additional requirements. No existing PRs.
