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(""/"")
datasette.set_actor_cookie(response, {""id"": ""cleopaws""}) 
             The shape of data encoded in the cookie is as follows: 
             {
  ""a"": {
    ""id"": ""cleopaws""
  }
} 
             To implement logout in a plugin, use the  delete_actor_cookie()  method: 
             response = Response.redirect(""/"")
datasette.delete_actor_cookie(response)","[""Authentication and permissions""]",[]
