| authentication:authentication-permissions-execute-sql | authentication | authentication-permissions-execute-sql | Controlling the ability to execute arbitrary SQL | The "allow_sql" block can be used to control who is allowed to execute arbitrary SQL queries, both using the form on the database page e.g. https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures or by appending a ?_where= parameter to the table page as seen on https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_where=city_id=1 . To enable just the root user to execute SQL for all databases in your instance, use the following: { "allow_sql": { "id": "root" } } To limit this ability for just one specific database, use this: { "databases": { "mydatabase": { "allow_sql": { "id": "root" } } } } | ["Authentication and permissions", "Configuring permissions in metadata.json"] | [{"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures", "label": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures"}, {"href": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_where=city_id=1", "label": "https://latest.datasette.io/fixtures/facetable?_where=city_id=1"}] |
