Role-based access control for saved queries

Saved queries now supports role-based access control (RBAC), giving teams a clearer and safer way to share and manage queries.

Saved queries are now shared by default: all users with access can reuse them, while only users with the Writer role can create, edit, or delete them. This replaces the previous per-query sharing checkbox with consistent, role-based permissions.

Two custom roles are available:

  • Writer: Create, update, and delete saved queries
  • Reader: Reuse existing saved queries

This makes it easier to collaborate on saved queries without risking accidental changes, while keeping ownership and control clear.
