Hello everyone, does anyone know if access control is possible when using ipfs - mutable file system? If so are there any resources on the matter?

I would like to enable users to upload files based on variables such as NFT ownership.

Many thanks!

There is no ACL built in with IPFS.  
You might checkout things like [https://unlock-protocol.com/](https://unlock-protocol.com/).
