Permissioned access to stream data.

Question

So I'm developing an application where the user has to grant access to anyone who wants to view/add-to his profile, the user has his own stream and each characteristic of the user is pointed to by a certain key value (example key1 is the key pointing to his name). Is there a way to add a layer that enables the user to grant permission to another user to access/add to a particular key value?

Answer 1

Yes, the creator of the stream can grant per-stream activate permissions to a user, and this allows that user to grant per-stream write permissions to other users. The creator of the stream can also grant per-stream write permissions directly, or grant per-stream admin permissions to other users to give them the same rights as the creator. The regular grant APIs can be used, with the permission specific using (e.g.) stream1.activate
