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 config_example config_example(cog, """ title: My private Datasette instance allow: id: root """) ]]] [[[end]]] To deny access to all users, you can use "allow": false : [[[cog config_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.
