Live-share: Allow guests to start a build or debugging session on the host's behalf
Note that developers starting the collaboration session (host) do not have this limitation. It is specific to participants joining a session.
Currently the developer that started the collaboration session (host) is the only one that can trigger a build or start a debugging session. While it provides the owner a high degree of control, the downside of this approach is that guests will be unable to start a build or debug while the owner is away temporarily. We could allow guests to run a build or start a debugging session to solve this challenge.

Def a good idea for tiny sessions, but on 3+ sessions it might be good to let the host disable that possibility through a flag.

This has been resolved in the latest version of VS Live Share 馃敟 It鈥檚 disabled by default, but the host can now set flags to allow the guest to start debugging as well as run tasks/build. Check out the release notes for more details. Thanks everyone for the feedback!
