Some caveats are specified in this specification, and must be understood by all servers. The use of non-standard caveats is allowed.
All caveats must take the form:
All caveats must take the form::
`key` `operator` `value`
where `key` is a non-empty string drawn from the character set [A-Za-z0-9_]
`operator` is a non-empty string which does not contain whitespace
`value` is a non-empty string
key operator value
where:
- ``key`` is a non-empty string drawn from the character set [A-Za-z0-9_]
- ``operator`` is a non-empty string which does not contain whitespace
- ``value`` is a non-empty string
And these are joined by single space characters.
Specified caveats:

+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| user_id | ID of the user for which this macaroon is valid. | Pure equality check. Operator must be =. |
| type | The purpose of this macaroon. | access - used to authorize any action except token refresh |
| refresh - only used to authorize a token refresh |

| type | The purpose of this macaroon. | - ``access``: used to authorize any action except token refresh |
| | | - ``refresh``: only used to authorize a token refresh |
| | | - ``login``: issued as a very short-lived token by third party login flows; proves that |
| | | authentication has happened but doesn't grant any privileges other than being able to be |
| | | exchanged for other tokens. |
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| time | Time before/after which this macaroon is valid. | A POSIX timestamp in milliseconds (in UTC). |
| Operator < means the macaroon is valid before the timestamp, as interpreted by the server. |
| Operator > means the macaroon is valid after the timestamp, as interpreted by the server. |
| Operator == means the macaroon is valid at exactly the timestamp, as interpreted by the server.|
| Note that exact equality of time is largely meaningless. |
