Ensure reading and writing ACLs is easy

Open RubenVerborgh opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

The context currently has ACL wired up. We should:

  • [ ] create examples with ACLs
  • [ ] verify they are easy
  • [ ] if not, add some extra helpers for them

Does this ticket mean that creating and modifying ACLs is possible currently in ldflex, just not easy? If so, how can we do this?

Someone in the solid forum also asked, how ldflex could be used for access control. Has there been any update on it?

Yes.

If so, how can we do this?

Probably by creating some extra shapes.

Has there been any update on it?

I will have some people working on LDflex in the next weeks.

Ok, thanks for the quick response. If it is of interest for you, I've pretty much finished a js library for reading and writing acl files. In case it could be helpful: https://github.com/Otto-AA/solid-acl-parser
