+<!-- YAML

+
+> Stability: 1.1 - Active development
+
+When using the [Permission Model][], the process will not be able to use
+native addons by default.
+Attempts to do so will throw an `ERR_DLOPEN_DISABLED` unless the
+user explicitly passes the `--allow-addons` flag when starting Node.js.
+
+Example:
+
+```cjs
+// Attempt to require an native addon
+require('nodejs-addon-example');
+```
+
+```console
+$ node --experimental-permission --allow-fs-read=* index.js
+node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1319
+  return process.dlopen(module, path.toNamespacedPath(filename));
+                 ^
+
+Error: Cannot load native addon because loading addons is disabled.
