Access configuration
main.lua.d/50-default-access-config.lua
Using a similar format as the ALSA monitor, this configuration file is charged to configure the client objects created by PipeWire.
default_access.properties
A Lua object that contains generic client configuration properties in the for of key pairs.
Example:
default_access.properties = { ["enable-flatpak-portal"] = true, }
The above example sets to
true
theenable-flatpak-portal
property.The list of valid properties are:
["enable-flatpak-portal"] = true,
Whether to enable the flatpak portal or not.
default_access.rules
This is a Lua array that can contain objects with rules for a client object. Those Lua objects have 2 properties. Similar to the ALSA configuration, the first property is
matches
, which allow users to define rules to match a client object. The second property isdefault_permissions
, and it is used to set permissions on the matched client object.Example:
{ matches = { { { "pipewire.access", "=", "flatpak" }, }, }, default_permissions = "rx", }
This grants read and execute permissions to all clients that have the
pipewire.access
property set toflatpak
.Possible permissions are any combination of
r
,w
andx
for read, write and execute; orall
for all kind of permissions.
