authentication:authentication-ds-actor,authentication,authentication-ds-actor,The ds_actor cookie,"Datasette includes a default authentication plugin which looks for a signed  ds_actor  cookie containing a JSON actor dictionary. This is how the  root actor  mechanism works. 
             Authentication plugins can set signed  ds_actor  cookies themselves like so: 
             response = Response.redirect(""/"")
response.set_cookie(
    ""ds_actor"",
    datasette.sign({""a"": {""id"": ""cleopaws""}}, ""actor""),
) 
             Note that you need to pass  ""actor""  as the namespace to  .sign(value, namespace=""default"") . 
             The shape of data encoded in the cookie is as follows: 
             {
    ""a"": {... actor ...}
}","[""Authentication and permissions""]",[]
