[ckan-dev] Blocking read access on API for anonymous users

Tue Feb 13 15:42:12 UTC 2018

Hi

you are probably looking for the IPermissionLabel interface (
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/extensions/plugin-interfaces.html#ckan.plugins.interfaces.IPermissionLabels),
which allows to customize what datasets a user can see/access.
You can find an example in the ckanext/example_ipermissionlabels directory
of the repository:
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/tree/master/ckanext/example_ipermissionlabels

Hope this helps.

- Stefan
