Running 'logged in'
A 'logged in' run is a special type of run that is linked to your account.
Explanation: You login to your user account on the "main" server:
ancientbrain.com
Runs take place on the "run" server:
run.ancientbrain.com
where there is no user login.
However, some runs can have a form of 'login' where they are linked to your account. The run can take certain carefully controlled actions. It cannot take any normal user actions like delete World, change password, etc. No run page can take those actions.
One action that can be taken in 'logged in' runs is that the World can save data on the server in your account. A World can save a user's choices, their place in a game, or even things they have been creating, and restore them next time.
AB.runloggedin; // Boolean. Are we running logged in. AB.myuserid; // The userid of the run, if running logged in.
Run from the World page to run 'logged in'
Runs are only 'logged in' when run from certain pages:
| Run situation | Is the run logged in? |
| User is not logged in. | No |
| User is logged in. Run is launched from World page (or Mind page or Edit page). | Yes |
| User is logged in. Run is launched from other page. | No |
Summary
When you run 'logged in':- The run URL contains a special "data ticket" allowing it to save data to server.
- The World can save data.
- The data ticket only works on your IP. So even if you share this run URL, the data ticket should not work for other people.
- The run URL has no "data ticket".
- The World cannot save data.
