Macaroons

Introduction

Swestore supports Macaroons, a bearer token technology used with the WebDAV/HTTP protocols. Macaroons makes it easy to create temporary access links with limited permissions and are extremely well suited for creation of access portals, limited time file sharing/delegation, and other use cases.
