You can set a group that can run the query. It’s in the settings for every wuery.
Yes after allowing the group, how a user in that particular group can run the query. They don’t see the plug-ins. From where do they find the query
Send them the link to the query.
Have you tried it as a regular user?

This was really not obvious to me. Took a while to figure out. Perhaps there is some way to make it more clear.
Question: Is it true that only admins can have access to the Data Explorer? I can’t find anywhere this is stated explicitly, nor can I find a setting. Is this just hard coded?
Only admins can create queries since having access to the whole database is a huge security concern (email addresses, ip addresses, and so on).
You can make queries available to members of a certain group, which it sounds like you’ve figured out.

Thanks. Mods can already see individual emails and ip addresses, so I wasn’t sure why the extra restriction. We trust our mods as much as we do our admins.
Perhaps those weren’t good examples. They could, say, have a user sent a login link, and then get the key from the database and log in as that user (which admins can do, but I think mods can’t?). They would also have access to all of the values of the settings and could get secrets (say, AI api keys, keys for authentication, and so on).
If you trust them to be admins, then you can just make them all admins.
