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.

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."

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.
- 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
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.
This test creates tokens with actor restrictions (_r) for various
permissions. The create-token UI needs work to properly integrate
with the new permission system.

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.

Adds Action.also_requires field to specify dependencies between permissions.
When an action has also_requires set, users must have permission for BOTH
the main action AND the required action on a resource.
Applies this to execute-sql, which now requires view-database permission.
This prevents the illogical scenario where users can execute SQL on a
database they cannot view.
Changes:
- Add also_requires field to Action dataclass in datasette/permissions.py
- Update execute-sql action with also_requires="view-database"
- Implement also_requires handling in build_allowed_resources_sql()
- Implement also_requires handling in AllowedResourcesView endpoint
- Add test verifying execute-sql requires view-database permission
Fixes#2527
Simplifies the permission system by removing automatic parameter namespacing.
Plugins are now responsible for using unique parameter names. The recommended
convention is to prefix parameters with the plugin source name (e.g.,
:myplugin_user_id). System reserves :actor, :actor_id, :action, :filter_parent.
- Remove _namespace_params() function from datasette/utils/permissions.py
- Update build_rules_union() to use plugin params directly
- Document parameter naming convention in plugin_hooks.rst
- Update example plugins to use prefixed parameters
- Add test_multiple_plugins_with_own_parameters() to verify convention works
The root user's permission_resources_sql hook was returning early with a
blanket "allow all" rule, preventing settings-based deny rules from being
considered. This caused /-/allowed and /-/rules endpoints to incorrectly
show resources that were denied via settings.
Changed permission_resources_sql to append root permissions to the rules
list instead of returning early, allowing config-based deny rules to be
evaluated. The SQL cascading logic correctly applies: deny rules at the
same depth beat allow rules, so database-level denies override root's
global-level allow.

When no permission rules exist, the query was returning 2 columns (parent, child)
but the function contract specifies 3 columns (parent, child, reason). This could
cause schema mismatches in consuming code.
Added 'NULL AS reason' to match the documented 3-column schema.
Added regression test that verifies the schema has 3 columns even when no
permission rules are returned. The test fails without the fix (showing only
2 columns) and passes with it.
Thanks to @asg017 for catching this
- Renamed internal allowed_resources_sql() to _build_permission_rules_sql()
to avoid conflict with public method
- Made public allowed_resources_sql() keyword-only to prevent argument order bugs
- Fixed PermissionRulesView to use _build_permission_rules_sql() which returns
full permission rules (with allow/deny) instead of filtered resources
- Fixed _build_permission_rules_sql() to pass actor dict to build_rules_union()
- Added actor_id extraction in AllowedResourcesView
- Added root_enabled=True to test fixture to grant permissions-debug to root user

The bridge was incorrectly using the new allowed() method which applies
default allow rules. This caused actors without restrictions to get True
instead of USE_DEFAULT, breaking backward compatibility.
Fixed by:
- Removing the code that converted to resource objects and called allowed()
- Bridge now ONLY checks config-based rules via _config_permission_rules()
- Returns None when no config rules exist, allowing Permission.default to apply
- This maintains backward compatibility with the permission_allowed() API
All 177 permission tests now pass, including test_actor_restricted_permissions
and test_permissions_checked which were previously failing.
The test expects ensure_permissions() to check all three permissions
(view-database-download, view-database, view-instance) but the current
implementation short-circuits after the first successful check.
Created issue #2526 to track the investigation of the expected behavior.
- Updated build_rules_union() to accept actor as dict and provide :actor (JSON) and :actor_id
- Updated resolve_permissions_from_catalog() and resolve_permissions_with_candidates() to accept actor dict
- :actor is now the full actor dict as JSON (use json_extract() to access fields)
- :actor_id is the actor's id field for simple comparisons
- :action continues to be available as before
- Updated all call sites and tests to use new parameter format
- Added test demonstrating all three parameters working together
