Description

Usage example:
User sign in to an NLP service, then NLP service store the JWT from solid-auth-client, so it can access to user's POD for a year, and do some semantic parsing every 5 minutes (cronjob), link user data to some ontology. Another example can be a search engine that needs access to user files and cache them locally.

But this kind of service is not fetching POD data via a browser, so there is no origin for it. How can ACL work in this circumstance?

What's the recommended way to implement such a backend service?

Further discussion is on the forum.

Research direction

Start with the usage examples in this issue and the linked forum discussion about advanced server-side features. Define the requirements for server-side plugin or middleware support and personal access tokens, including how ACL access should work without a browser origin; the work is done when the project has an agreed implementation or documented recommendation.
