authentication:allowdebugview | authentication | allowdebugview | The /-/allow-debug tool | The /-/allow-debug tool lets you try out different "action" blocks against different "actor" JSON objects. You can try that out here: https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug | ["Authentication and permissions", "Permissions"] | [{"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug", "label": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug"}] |
authentication:authentication-permissions-allow | authentication | authentication-permissions-allow | Defining permissions with "allow" blocks | The standard way to define permissions in Datasette is to use an "allow" block in the datasette.yaml file . This is a JSON document describing which actors are allowed to perform a permission. The most basic form of allow block is this ( allow demo , deny demo ): [[[cog from metadata_doc import config_example import textwrap config_example(cog, textwrap.dedent( """ allow: id: root """).strip(), "YAML", "JSON" ) ]]] [[[end]]] This will match any actors with an "id" property of "root" - for example, an actor that looks like this: { "id": "root", "name": "Root User" } An allow block can specify "deny all" using false ( demo ): [[[cog from metadata_doc import config_example import textwrap config_example(cog, textwrap.dedent( """ allow: false """).strip(), "YAML", "JSON" ) ]]] [[[end]]] An "allow" of true allows all access ( demo ): [[[cog from metadata_doc import config_example import textwrap config_example(cog, textwrap.dedent( """ allow: true """).strip(), "YAML", "JSON" ) ]]] [[[end]]] Allow keys can provide a list of values. These will match any actor that has any of those values ( allow demo , deny demo ): [[[cog from metadata_doc import config_example import textwrap config_example(cog, textwrap.dedent( """ allow: id: - simon - cleopaws """).strip(), "YAML", "JSON" ) ]]] [[[end]]] This will match any actor with an "id" of either "simon" or "cleopaws" . Actors can have properties that feature a list of values. These will be matched against the list of values in an allow block. Consider the following actor: { "id": "simon"… | ["Authentication and permissions", "Permissions"] | [{"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%22id%22%3A+%22root%22%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++++++%22id%22%3A+%22root%22%0D%0A++++%7D", "label": "allow demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%22id%22%3A+%22trevor%22%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++++++%22id%22%3A+%22root%22%0D%0A++++%7D", "label": "deny demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22root%22%0D%0A%7D&allow=false", "label": "demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22root%22%0D%0A%7D&allow=true", "label": "demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22cleopaws%22%0D%0A%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%5B%0D%0A++++++++%22simon%22%2C%0D%0A++++++++%22cleopaws%22%0D%0A++++%5D%0D%0A%7D", "label": "allow demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22pancakes%22%0D%0A%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%5B%0D%0A++++++++%22simon%22%2C%0D%0A++++++++%22cleopaws%22%0D%0A++++%5D%0D%0A%7D", "label": "deny demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22simon%22%2C%0D%0A++++%22roles%22%3A+%5B%0D%0A++++++++%22staff%22%2C%0D%0A++++++++%22developer%22%0D%0A++++%5D%0D%0A%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++%22roles%22%3A+%5B%0D%0A++++++++%22developer%22%0D%0A++++%5D%0D%0A%7D", "label": "allow demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22cleopaws%22%2C%0D%0A++++%22roles%22%3A+%5B%22dog%22%5D%0D%0A%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++%22roles%22%3A+%5B%0D%0A++++++++%22developer%22%0D%0A++++%5D%0D%0A%7D", "label": "deny demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22simon%22%0D%0A%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22*%22%0D%0A%7D", "label": "allow demo"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/-/allow-debug?actor=%7B%0D%0A++++%22bot%22%3A+%22readme-bot%22%0D%0A%7D&allow=%7B%0D%0A++++%22id%22%3A+%22*%22%0D%0A%7D", "label": "deny demo"… |
authentication:authentication-permissions-explained | authentication | authentication-permissions-explained | How permissions are resolved | The datasette.permission_allowed(actor, action, resource=None, default=...) method is called to check if an actor is allowed to perform a specific action. This method asks every plugin that implements the permission_allowed(datasette, actor, action, resource) hook if the actor is allowed to perform the action. Each plugin can return True to indicate that the actor is allowed to perform the action, False if they are not allowed and None if the plugin has no opinion on the matter. False acts as a veto - if any plugin returns False then the permission check is denied. Otherwise, if any plugin returns True then the permission check is allowed. The resource argument can be used to specify a specific resource that the action is being performed against. Some permissions, such as view-instance , do not involve a resource. Others such as view-database have a resource that is a string naming the database. Permissions that take both a database name and the name of a table, view or canned query within that database use a resource that is a tuple of two strings, (database_name, resource_name) . Plugins that implement the permission_allowed() hook can decide if they are going to consider the provided resource or not. | ["Authentication and permissions", "Permissions"] | [] |
