I was using Inrupt’s @inrupt/solid-client-access-grants library to request acccess to a solidcommunity pod but noticed that it doesn’t seem compatible because I think that this library is exclusive to Inrupt pods due to the server and wallet structure being exclusive to Inrupt.

I decided to edit the ACL file of the resource instead and I am wondering if this is the best way to grant access to a resource for another user regardless of the pod provider the resource is in. Basically, I want a catch all solution to any pod provider so I can grant access to a resource.

Did you already see the solid-client universal API? This provides some abstraction over the specific access control mechanisms
