```python
if await datasette.permission_allowed(
    request.scope.get(""actor""),  ""execute_query"", ""canned_query"", query_name, default=True
):
```
Then I'll add a default plugin to Datasette which implements that plugin hook, looks at the Datasette metadata for that query, and says ""No"" if the following (and `request.scope[""actor""]` is empty):

```json
{
    ""databases"": {
       ""my-database"": {
           ""queries"": {
               ""add_twitter_handle"": {

               }
           }

    }
}
```
I think I'll support this too:

```json
                   ""allowed_actors"": [""root""]

Prior to shipping this, Datasette's core value proposition is as a way to publish read-only data.

That changed a little [in 0.37 in February](https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html#v0-37) when plugins gained the supported ability to execute writes, but there was no way of doing that without a plugin.

With this feature, Datasette becomes a read-write database solution.

I should update the documentation to help explain this. Essentially the message is that Datasette can be used in one of two ""modes"" - it can be used just for sharing/publishing data, or you can use it to collect and manage data, most likely still in collaboration with plugins for things like authentication.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",582517965,Ability for a canned query to write to the database,
