authentication:authentication-permissions-instance	authentication	authentication-permissions-instance	Access to an instance	Here's how to restrict access to your entire Datasette instance to just the "id": "root" user: [[[cog from metadata_doc import metadata_example metadata_example(cog, { "title": "My private Datasette instance", "allow": { "id": "root" } }) ]]] [[[end]]] To deny access to all users, you can use "allow": false : [[[cog metadata_example(cog, { "title": "My entirely inaccessible instance", "allow": False }) ]]] [[[end]]] One reason to do this is if you are using a Datasette plugin - such as datasette-permissions-sql - to control permissions instead.
