-permission_allowed(datasette, actor, action, resource)
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-``datasette`` - :ref:`internals_datasette`
-    You can use this to access plugin configuration options via ``datasette.plugin_config(your_plugin_name)``, or to execute SQL queries.
-
-``actor`` - dictionary
-    The current actor, as decided by :ref:`plugin_hook_actor_from_request`.
-
-``action`` - string
-    The action to be performed, e.g. ``"edit-table"``.
-
-``resource`` - string or None
-    An identifier for the individual resource, e.g. the name of the table.
-
-Called to check that an actor has permission to perform an action on a resource. Can return ``True`` if the action is allowed, ``False`` if the action is not allowed or ``None`` if the plugin does not have an opinion one way or the other.
-
-Here's an example plugin which randomly selects if a permission should be allowed or denied, except for ``view-instance`` which always uses the default permission scheme instead.
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from datasette import hookimpl
-    import random
-
-
-    @hookimpl
-    def permission_allowed(action):
-        if action != "view-instance":
-            # Return True or False at random
-            return random.random() > 0.5
-        # Returning None falls back to default permissions
-
-This function can alternatively return an awaitable function which itself returns ``True``, ``False`` or ``None``. You can use this option if you need to execute additional database queries using ``await datasette.execute(...)``.
-
-Here's an example that allows users to view the ``admin_log`` table only if their actor ``id`` is present in the ``admin_users`` table. It aso disallows arbitrary SQL queries for the ``staff.db`` database for all users.

-            if action == "view-table" and resource == (
-                "staff",
-                "admin_log",

-                if not actor:
-                    return False
