How to share a Superset Dashboard or Chart?

Question

We connected superset with PostgreSQL and able to make charts and Dashboards. It's easy and really helpful to make dashboards. But now we are looking for the share functionality for dashboards which they also mentioned on their superset introduction pages(on Github and as well as on Airbnb site) that we can create and share the dashboard with others. So how to share dashboard with other users?

Answer 1

There are a few considerations in order to share a SuperSet chart/dashboard.

1. are you sharing publicly or privately? i.e. the people seeing the data are in your company (i.e. you can add them to SuperSet as users) or are they outside where there will be no authentication?. I'll assume the first case, since that is the most common

Once you figure out the steop above. You have different options.

2. Go to the Dashboard, on the top right > "Edit Dashboard" > then also on the top right "..." then the option "edit properties".

There you'll see something like this

On the field ROLES you can add Public or whichever role corresponds to the people you want to grant access to.

Now, hit "Apply" and then "Save"

The page will refresh and now you can either copy the URL and share with the person or click the "..." >> "Share" >> "Copy Permalink to clipboard"

and share this link with the user to access it.

For sharing Charts it is a similar pattern but granting them access will give them permission to edit the chart too, so I believe you were referring to the first case I mentioned

Hope that helps!

Sharing a chart should be easy. You can use the button as shown on the picture:

It is situated on the same page as where you create/edit your chart.
Also to share the chart you'll need to configure a public user and grant him all privileges required to open the chart.
