Multi user support

Would it be possible to add multi user support to rtorrent? By that I mean being able to run one instance of rtorrent but presenting independent lists of running torrents (and allowing each user to add/remove torrents independently) according to a user parameter passed in RPC calls. Basically make RPC calls behave like any standard multi-user web API.
Intended use case would be running rtorrent as a daemon in the context of its own user with a webUI like flood or transmission as the front-end, and having the web server relay the ID of the logged in user to RPC calls.
You can start multiple sessions of rTorrent via the startup script, juste change the service name, working directory and user/group. Than you make the same thing with multiples flood instances, one by rtorrent service. You'll need to modify the scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:4865 inside .rtorrent.rc to match flood/rtorrent pair on every instances. Then you can reverse proxy to floods ports with a web server like nginx.
You'll have https://user1.myseedbox.com, https://user2.myseedbox.com ...
