@dholms.at thinking about permissiones data. What if: Permissioned data URI was at://<PDS did>/<record type>/<rkey> exactly the same as public data. The PDS would handle the space assignment opaquely and do a 4xx response with some space aturis. Client goes and grabs a space cred and retries

Spaces · vlpds docs
Permissioned data on vlpds: every member keeps a private, signed space repo on their own PDS. It never reaches the firehose, and reading it takes a short-lived credential chain.
Spaces as Layers - Nick's Blog
Public anchor records paired with sidecar records in permissioned spaces give ATProtocol apps a composable pattern for blending open discoverability with controlled access.
Permissioned data by dholms · Pull Request #94 · bluesky-social/proposals
This is an initial proposal for permissioned data. Details, terminology, and behaviors are all likely to change. For a friendly introduction to the protocol, check my my Leaflets. For discussion, f...
FediForum Talk: Introduction to Atproto Spaces
By Daniel Holmgren, head of protocol at Bluesky PBC. A technical overview of the recent extension of AT Protocol beyond public data to cover permissioned data and private group spaces.
Permissioned Data Diary 2: Buckets - Daniel's Leaflets
The second in a series of posts building up a solution to permissioned data on atproto. We introduce buckets: a new protocol primitive for creating a shared social context.
I've been exploring permissioned data spaces technology and components, thinking about what the end-result is going to look like. @dholms.at's last dev diary has some good nuggets and I decided to jump into an ECMH implementation.

tangled.orgSharing this! Wish I'm not late for #IETF126 Tangled found PDS doesn't fit well for contributions even with upcoming permissioned space spec. So, we are planning to store record-like data outside of PDS, in Knot. This is a post explaining the reasons & upstream spec change we need. #atproto #atdev

tangled.orgnew data diary! this is the most in the weeds yet, all revolving around our proposed URI structure for permissioned data. turns out you can figure out a lot about a protocol from the uri! as always, let me know what you think :)
Permissioned Data Diary 5: What’s in a Name?
dholms.leaflet.pubA deep dive on permissioned-data space access. The dials, policies, and the difference between handing out keys and revoking them.
Permissioned Data: Space Access
ngerakines.leaflet.pub#atproto space question: Is it fine to create space for each records to support per-record access control? Say all Tangled repository issues are spaces. My biggest concern is sync, because every issues are now standalone permissioned repos. But maybe that doesn't matter much?
