These will match any actor that has any of those values ( allow demo ,  deny demo ): \n                 {\n    \"allow\": {\n        \"id\": [\"simon\", \"cleopaws\"]\n    }\n} \n                 This will match any actor with an  \"id\"  of either  \"simon\"  or  \"cleopaws\" . \n                 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: \n                 {\n    \"id\": \"simon\",\n    \"roles\": [\"staff\", \"developer\"]\n} \n                 This allow block will provide access to any actor that has  \"developer\"  as one of their roles ( allow demo ,  deny demo ): \n                 {\n    \"allow\": {\n        \"roles\": [\"developer\"]\n    }\n} \n                 Note that \"roles\" is not a concept that is baked into Datasette - it's a convention that plugins can choose to implement and act on. \n                 If you want to provide access to any actor with a value for a specific key, use  \"*\" . For example, to match any logged-in user specify the following ( allow demo ,  deny demo ): \n                 {\n    \"allow\": {\n        \"id\": \"*\"\n    }\n} \n                 You can specify that only unauthenticated actors (from anynomous HTTP requests) should be allowed access using the special  \"unauthenticated\": true  key in an allow block ( allow demo ,  deny demo ): \n                 {\n    \"allow\": {\n        \"unauthenticated\": true\n    }\n} \n                 Allow keys act as an \"or\" mechanism. An actor will be able to execute the query if any of their JSON properties match any of the values in the corresponding lists in the  allow  block.

Authentication plugins may chose to use this mechanism to limit the lifetime of the cookie. For example, if a plugin implements single-sign-on against another source it may decide to set short-lived cookies so that if the user is removed from the SSO system their existing Datasette cookies will stop working shortly afterwards. \n                 To include an expiry, add a  \"e\"  key to the cookie value containing a base62-encoded integer representing the timestamp when the cookie should expire. For example, here's how to set a cookie that expires after 24 hours: \n                 import time\nfrom datasette.utils import baseconv\n\nexpires_at = int(time.time()) + (24 * 60 * 60)\n\nresponse = Response.redirect(\"/\")\nresponse.set_cookie(\n    \"ds_actor\",\n    datasette.sign(\n        {\n            \"a\": {\"id\": \"cleopaws\"},\n            \"e\": baseconv.base62.encode(expires_at),\n        },\n        \"actor\",\n    ),\n) \n                 The resulting cookie will encode data that looks something like this: \n                 {\n    \"a\": {\n        \"id\": \"cleopaws\"\n    },\n    \"e\": \"1jjSji\"\n}", "breadcrumbs": "[\"Authentication and permissions\", \"The ds_actor cookie\"]", "references": "[]"}
