- Renamed test_tables_endpoint.py to test_allowed_resources.py to better
reflect that it tests the allowed_resources() API, not the HTTP endpoint
- Removed three outdated tests from test_search_tables.py that expected
the old behavior where /-/tables.json with no query returned empty results
- The new behavior (from commit bda69ff1) returns all tables with pagination
when no query is provided

Actor restrictions (_r) now integrate with the SQL permission layer via
the permission_resources_sql() hook instead of acting as a post-filter.
This fixes the issue where allowed_resources() didn't respect restrictions,
causing incorrect database/table listings at /.json and /database.json
endpoints for restricted actors.
Key changes:
- Add _restriction_permission_rules() function to generate SQL rules from _r
- Restrictions create global DENY + specific ALLOW rules using allowlist
- Restrictions act as gating filter BEFORE config/root/default permissions
- Remove post-filter check from allowed() method (now redundant)
- Skip default allow rules when actor has restrictions
- Add comprehensive tests for restriction filtering behavior
The cascading permission logic (child → parent → global) ensures that
allowlisted resources override the global deny, while non-allowlisted
resources are blocked.
Closes#2534
The self.permissions dictionary was declared in __init__ but never
populated - only self.actions gets populated during startup.
The get_permission() method was unused legacy code that tried to look
up permissions from the empty self.permissions dictionary.
Changes:
- Removed self.permissions = {} from Datasette.__init__
- Removed get_permission() method (unused)
- Renamed test_get_permission → test_get_action to match actual method being tested
All tests pass, confirming these were unused artifacts.

The create-token CLI command was checking ds.permissions.get(action)
instead of ds.actions.get(action) when validating action names. This
caused false "Unknown permission" warnings for valid actions like
"debug-menu".
This is the same bug we fixed in app.py:685. The Action objects are
stored in ds.actions, not ds.permissions.
The warnings were being printed to stderr (correctly) but CliRunner
mixes stderr and stdout, so the warnings contaminated the token output,
causing token authentication to fail in tests.
Fixes all 6 test_cli_create_token tests.

Updated test expectations to match the actual /-/permissions POST endpoint:
1. **Resource format**: Changed from empty list `[]` to `None` when no resources,
and from tuple `(a, b)` to list `[a, b]` for two resources (JSON serialization)
2. **Result values**: Changed from sentinel "USE_DEFAULT" to actual boolean True/False
3. **also_requires dependencies**: Fixed tests for actions with dependencies:
- view-database-download now requires both "vdd" and "vd" in restrictions
- execute-sql now requires both "es" and "vd" in restrictions
4. **No upward cascading**: view-database does NOT grant view-instance
(changed expected result from True to False)
All 20 test_actor_restricted_permissions test cases now pass.

These tests were expecting an old API behavior from the /-/permissions debug endpoint
that no longer exists. The tests expect:
- A "default" field in the response (removed when migrating to new permission system)
- "USE_DEFAULT" sentinel values instead of actual True/False results
- Empty list `[]` for no resource instead of `None`
The /-/permissions POST endpoint was updated (views/special.py:151-185) to return
simpler responses without the "default" field, but these tests weren't updated to match.
These tests need to be rewritten to test the new permission system correctly.

Fixed two bugs preventing the create token UI and tests from working:
1. **Template variable mismatch**: create_token.html was using undefined variables
- Changed `all_permissions` → `all_actions`
- Changed `database_permissions` → `database_actions`
- Changed `resource_permissions` → `child_actions`
These match what CreateTokenView.shared() actually provides to the template.
2. **Action abbreviation bug**: app.py:685 was checking the wrong dictionary
- Changed `self.permissions.get(action)` → `self.actions.get(action)`
The abbreviate_action() function needs to look up Action objects (which have
the `abbr` attribute), not Permission objects. This bug prevented action names
like "view-instance" from being abbreviated to "vi" in token restrictions.

The test was expecting upward permission cascading (e.g., view-table permission
granting view-database access), but the actual implementation in
restrictions_allow_action() uses exact-match, non-cascading checks.
Updated 5 test cases to expect 403 (Forbidden) instead of 200 when:
- Actor has view-database permission but accesses instance page
- Actor has database-level view-table permission but accesses instance/database pages
- Actor has table-level view-table permission but accesses instance/database pages
This matches the documented behavior: "Restrictions work on an exact-match basis:
if an actor has view-table permission, they can view tables, but NOT automatically
view-instance or view-database."

When a database has an "allow" block in the configuration, it should
apply to all queries in that database, not just tables and the database
itself. This fix ensures that queries respect database-level access
controls.
This fixes the test_padlocks_on_database_page test which expects
plugin-defined queries (from_async_hook, from_hook) to show padlock
indicators when the database has restricted access.

Added a new helper method resource_for_action() that creates Resource
instances for a given action by looking up the action's resource_class.
This eliminates the ugly object.__new__() pattern throughout the codebase.
Refactored all places that were using object.__new__() to create Resource
instances:
- check_visibility()
- allowed_resources()
- allowed_resources_with_reasons()
Also refactored database view to use allowed_resources() with
include_is_private=True to get canned queries, rather than manually
checking each one.

Updated check_visibility() to use the action's resource_class to determine
the correct Resource type to instantiate, rather than hardcoding based on
the action name. This follows the pattern used elsewhere in the codebase
and properly supports QueryResource for view-query actions.

This change integrates canned queries with Datasette's new SQL-based
permissions system by making the following changes:
1. **Default canned_queries plugin hook**: Added a new hookimpl in
default_permissions.py that returns canned queries from datasette
configuration. This extracts config-reading logic into a plugin hook,
allowing QueryResource to discover all queries.
2. **Async resources_sql()**: Converted Resource.resources_sql() from a
synchronous class method returning a string to an async method that
receives the datasette instance. This allows QueryResource to call
plugin hooks and query the database.
3. **QueryResource implementation**: Implemented QueryResource.resources_sql()
to gather all canned queries by:
- Querying catalog_databases for all databases
- Calling canned_queries hooks for each database with actor=None
- Building a UNION ALL SQL query of all (database, query_name) pairs
- Properly escaping single quotes in resource names
4. **Simplified get_canned_queries()**: Removed config-reading logic since
it's now handled by the default plugin hook.
5. **Added view-query to default allow**: Added "view-query" to the
default_allow_actions set so canned queries are accessible by default.
6. **Removed xfail markers**: Removed test xfail markers from:
- tests/test_canned_queries.py (entire module)
- tests/test_html.py (2 tests)
- tests/test_permissions.py (1 test)
- tests/test_plugins.py (1 test)
All canned query tests now pass with the new permission system.

Updated the assert_permissions_checked() helper function to work with the
new PermissionCheck dataclass instead of dictionaries. The function now:
- Uses dataclass attributes (pc.action) instead of dict subscripting
- Converts parent/child to old resource format for comparison
- Updates error message formatting to show dataclass fields

Instead of logging permission checks as dicts with a 'resource' key,
use a typed dataclass with separate parent and child fields.
Changes:
- Created PermissionCheck dataclass in app.py
- Updated permission check logging to use dataclass
- Updated PermissionsDebugView to use dataclass attributes
- Updated PermissionCheckView to check parent/child instead of resource
- Updated permissions_debug.html template to display parent/child
- Updated test expectations to use dataclass attributes
This provides better type safety and cleaner separation between
parent and child resource identifiers.
Changes:
- Use allowed_resources() instead of manual iteration with allowed() checks
- Rename all_permissions → all_actions
- Rename database_permissions → database_actions
- Rename resource_permissions → child_actions
- Update to use takes_parent/takes_child instead of takes_database/takes_resource
This makes the code more efficient (bulk permission checking) and uses
consistent naming throughout.
Instead of manually checking resource_class types, use the action's
takes_parent and takes_child properties to determine how to instantiate
the resource object. This is more maintainable and works with any
resource class that follows the pattern.
Updated in:
- PermissionsDebugView.post()
- PermissionCheckView.get()
- Rename permission_name to action_name in debug templates for consistency
- Remove confusing WHERE 0 check from check_permission_for_resource()
- Rename tests/test_special.py to tests/test_search_tables.py
- Remove tests/vec.db that shouldn't have been committed
Implements a new ensure_permission() method that is a convenience wrapper
around allowed() that raises Forbidden instead of returning False.
Changes:
- Added ensure_permission() method to datasette/app.py
- Updated all views to use ensure_permission() instead of the pattern:
if not await self.ds.allowed(...): raise Forbidden(...)
- Updated docs/internals.rst to document the new method
- Removed old ensure_permissions() documentation (that method was already removed)
The new method simplifies permission enforcement in views and makes the
code more concise and consistent.
Canned queries are not accessible because view-query permission
has not yet been migrated to the SQL-based permission system.
Marks the following tests with xfail:
- test_config_cache_size (test_api.py)
- test_edit_sql_link_not_shown_if_user_lacks_permission (test_html.py)
- test_database_color - removes canned query path (test_html.py)
- test_hook_register_output_renderer_* (test_plugins.py - 3 tests)
- test_hook_query_actions canned query parameter (test_plugins.py)
- test_custom_query_with_unicode_characters (test_table_api.py)
- test_permissions_checked neighborhood_search (test_permissions.py)
- test_padlocks_on_database_page (test_permissions.py)
All reference issue #2510 for tracking view-query migration.
The new SQL-based permission system always resolves to True or False,
so the concept of "used default" (tracking when no hook had an opinion)
is no longer relevant. Removes:
- used_default from permission check logging in app.py
- used_default from permission debug responses in special.py
- used_default display from permissions_debug.html template
- used_default from test expectations in test_permissions.py
This simplifies the permission system by eliminating the "no opinion" state.
Updates all permission debugging views to use the new ds.actions dict
instead of the old ds.permissions dict. Changes include:
- Replace all ds.permissions references with ds.actions
- Update field references: takes_database/takes_resource → takes_parent/takes_child
- Remove default field from permission display
- Rename sorted_permissions to sorted_actions in templates
- Remove source_plugin from SQL queries and responses
- Update test expectations to not check for source_plugin field
This aligns the views with the new Action dataclass structure.
The permission_allowed hook has been fully replaced by permission_resources_sql.
This commit removes:
- hookspec definition from hookspecs.py
- 4 implementations from default_permissions.py
- implementations from test plugins (my_plugin.py, my_plugin_2.py)
- hook monitoring infrastructure from conftest.py
- references from fixtures.py
- Also fixes test_get_permission to use ds.get_action() instead of ds.get_permission()
- Removes 5th column (source_plugin) from PermissionSQL queries
This completes the migration to the SQL-based permission system.
Two fixes for database download permissions:
1. Added also_requires="view-database" to view-database-download action
- You should only be able to download a database if you can view it
2. Added view-database-download to default_allow_actions list
- This action should be allowed by default, like view-database
3. Implemented also_requires checking in allowed() method
- The allowed() method now checks action.also_requires before
checking the action itself
- This ensures execute-sql requires view-database, etc.
Fixes test_database_download_for_immutable and
test_database_download_disallowed_for_memory.

This commit removes the ensure_permissions() method entirely and updates
all code to use direct allowed() checks instead.
Key changes:
- Removed ensure_permissions() method from datasette/app.py
- Simplified check_visibility() to check single permissions directly
- Replaced all ensure_permissions() calls with direct allowed() checks
- Updated all check_visibility() calls to use only primary permission
- Added Forbidden import to index.py
Why this change:
- ensure_permissions() used OR logic (any permission passes) which
conflicted with explicit denies in the config
- For example, check_visibility() called ensure_permissions() with
["view-database", "view-instance"] and if view-instance passed,
it would show pages even with explicit database deny
- The new approach checks only the specific permission needed for
each resource, respecting explicit denies

Simplified restrictions_allow_action() to work on exact-match basis only.
Actor restrictions no longer use permission implication logic - if an actor
has view-table permission, they can view tables but NOT automatically
view-instance or view-database.
Updated test_restrictions_allow_action test cases to reflect new behavior:
- Removed test cases expecting view-table to imply view-instance
- Removed test cases expecting view-database to imply view-instance
- Removed test cases expecting execute-sql to imply view-instance/view-database
- Added test cases verifying exact matches work correctly
- Added test case verifying abbreviations work (es -> execute-sql)
This aligns actor restrictions with the new permission model where each
action is checked independently without hierarchical implications.
