The new [permission system](https://info-beamer.com/doc/permissions) is now online and usable by all users. Right now it’s hidden behind a feature toggle on your [account page](https://info-beamer.com/account). Once enabled you can now:

- Share access to your account with other users, only granting the permissions based on what their role should be.
- Access shared accounts with a click of a button if other users invite you.
- Use some [pre-configured permission rules](https://info-beamer.com/permissions/acl) or [build your own](https://info-beamer.com/doc/permissions#policies).
- Create more than one API key, each with its own permissions.

And a ton more. Feedback or questions on how to use all this are very welcome. Feel free to toy around with the system: You can never lock yourself out of your own account.

Another tiny example of what new possibilities this opens up: I’ve just [updated](https://github.com/info-beamer/package-flap-display/commit/d8443e807f2cd8668ad0431b112d04adba204e42) the [flap display package](https://info-beamer.com/pkg/8474), so it can now react to [pushed device messages](https://info-beamer.com/doc/api#devicecommand). I’ve installed that package on one of my devices and created a policy that only allows the mentioned push API for that exact device. The policy looks like this:

```auto
{
  "Statements": [
    {
      "Action": "device:node-message",
      "Condition": {
        "NumericEquals": {
          "device:id": 7828
        },
        "StringEquals": {
          "message:path": "root/append"
        }
      },
      "Effect": "allow"
    }
  ],
  "Version": 1
}

```

I’ve created and ACL with only this policy, created a new self-access to my account and grabbed its API key. You can now send me messages on the display I’ll keep running a bit using:

```nohighlight
curl -u:b0368fe7b8c0df307bcbd454564674ae \
  https://info-beamer.com/api/v1/device/7828/node/root/append \
  -d 'data=Hello there!'

```

Result on the screen:
