Access

sherlink enforces the same four access levels every shebang resource uses — private, password, allow_list, public — see access modes for what each one means to a visitor. For a sherpage page, that policy can also be set through sherpage_set_access; for a sherserve object, sherlink's own link_set_access is the only way to change it, since the object itself carries no policy of its own.

link_set_access({
  code_or_id: "<code>",
  access: "password",
  password: "…",
})

Fields alongside access

Beyond the access level itself, link_set_access also carries the fields that gate a resource regardless of its access level:

• password — required when setting access: "password"; pass null to clear a previously-set password.
• expires_at — an ISO 8601 timestamp after which the resource stops serving; pass null to clear it.
• max_views — a view budget after which the resource stops serving; pass null to clear it.

An expired or budget-spent resource answers as expired before its access level is even checked — a dead allow_list resource never demands a sign-in only to refuse afterward.
