 # HTTP Interface
 
 The HTTP interface lets you use ClickHouse on any platform from any programming language. We use it for working from Java and Perl, as well as shell scripts. In other departments, the HTTP interface is used from Perl, Python, and Go. The HTTP interface is more limited than the native interface, but it has better compatibility.

+# Permissions for queries
+
+Queries in ClickHouse can be divided into several groups:
+
+1. Read data queries: `SELECT`, `SHOW`, `DESCRIBE`, `EXISTS`.
+1. Write data queries: `INSERT`, `OPTIMIZE`.
+1. Change settings queries: `SET`, `USE`.
+1. [DDL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_definition_language) queries: `CREATE`, `ALTER`, `RENAME`, `ATTACH`, `DETACH`, `DROP` `TRUNCATE`.
+1. Particular queries: `KILL QUERY`.
+
+The following settings regulate user permissions for the groups of queries:
+
+- [readonly](#settings_readonly) — Restricts permissions for all groups of queries excepting DDL.
+- [allow_ddl](#settings_allow_ddl) — Restricts permissions for DDL queries.
+
+`KILL QUERY` performs with any settings.
+
+<a name="settings_readonly"></a>
+
+## readonly
+
+Restricts permissions for read data, write data and change settings queries.
+
+See [above](#permissions_for_queries) for the division of queries into groups.
+
+**Possible values**
+
+- 0 — All queries are allowed. Default value.
+- 1 — Read data queries only are allowed.
+- 2 — Read data and change settings queries are allowed.
+
+After setting `readonly = 1`, a user can't change `readonly` and `allow_ddl` settings in the current session.
+
+When using the `GET` method in the [HTTP interface](../../interfaces/http_interface.md#http_interface), `readonly = 1` is set automatically. To modify data use the `POST` method.

+## allow_ddl
+
+Allows/denies [DDL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_definition_language) queries.
+
+See [above](#permissions_for_queries) for the division of queries into groups.
+
+**Possible values**
+
+- 0 — DDL queries are not allowed.
+- 1 — DDL queries are allowed. Default value.
+
+You can not execute `SET allow_ddl = 1` if `allow_ddl = 0` for current session.

-With a value of 0, you can execute any queries.
-With a value of 1, you can only execute read requests (such as SELECT and SHOW). Requests for writing and changing settings (INSERT, SET) are prohibited.
