How do I access $settings stream

EventStoreDB

Hello,

I am trying to edit the ACL for the $settings stream. How do I access the stream from the UI.

Thanks in advance,

Beno M

It’s just a normal stream so
http://yourip:port/streams/%24settings.

There are API functions for setting defaults in the .NET API as well

Over http you in general should access it from the “metadata” rel link on the feed. If you go to http://yourserver/streams/foo there will be the link in the feed.

Is it still true that I should be able to access http://localhost:2113/streams/%24settings ?

Not able to see it on my local using 3.0.0. It’s mentioned in http://docs.geteventstore.com/server/3.0.0/access-control-lists/, so I thought it would be there.

Here’s what I tried and got back

jgough@JGOUGH /c/Projects/github/CommitStream.Web/src/app (develop)

$ curl http://localhost:2113/streams/%24settings -u admin:changeit -v

I also tried TestClient:

You have to create it first otherwise you have defaults

I raised a similar question a couple of months ago.

Marc, excellent. That was a lot more clear than the docs. I’ll be happy to send a pull-request. I guess https://github.com/EventStore/docs.geteventstore.com/blob/gh-pages/server/3.0.1/access-control-lists.md and the like is the correct place?

Yes
