Access Control/Authorization#

Access control/authorization determines which actions an Agent can perform on a Pod Resource. Inrupt provides client libraries that provide APIs for managing access to Pod resources using:

Identity-Based Access Policies:	Access to Pod resources is determined by defined specific access policies based on agents’ identity, and optionally, the identity of their clients. For more information, see: Access Policies: Universal API Manage Access to Data (ACP)
Access requests and grants:	Access to Pod resources can be requested and granted. To allow use of Access Grants for a resource, access policy based on a VC type must be defined. For more information, see: Access Requests and Grants.
