Authorisation by datasets

Open jeromekelleher opened this issue 9 years ago • 1 comments

Now that we have authentication via OIC, it's time to start thinking about authorisation of users to access data. A simple model is as follows:

  1. All authenticated users can access References and the index page;
  2. We specify (in our Flask configuration) a white-list of users to datasets.

We can make something more sophisticated later, but this will be enough to get us started. This issue is partially blocked by our handling of multiple dataset (which is currently poor --- see #453), and so can't be closed until this is resolved.
