I have spent no joke like 4 hours trying to do this on @netlify already today and cannot for the life of me figure it out

can you say more about what the ideal workflow is? if you can set a cookie, you can allow/deny access based on cookie presence docs.netlify.com/routing/red…

I followed a few links from there and it looks like possibly this is the answer?

yeah, that definitely works! here’s some code to change roles if you need to, but in general Netlify Identity / roles will definitely let you gate content

I'm still a little confused about Netlify Identity, but it seems like it requires that I manage users in Netlify, which isn't what I want.
Also wow the pricing 😮 $99/month/user in order to be able to use third party JWT tokens?

you can do user stuff without plugging into Netlify Identity. the important part is the app_metadata.roles in the token

but if you’re looking for a cookie, you can check for that in the redirect and send to auth if it’s not present
the cookie redirect could be:
/* /:splat 200! Cookie=your_cookie
/* /login
login could call a serverless function to set the cookie

how can I validate the contents of that cookie? From what I can tell in the docs the redirect method just checks for the presence of the cookie

Sounds promising, but I still can't quite see all the pieces. Maybe we should do another livestream and tackle this live!
