Superset individual dashboard permission

Question

Is it possible to set permission on a specific dashboard? Like only 'user1' and 'user2' will view/see 'dashboard1' and others will not see 'dashboard1'.

Answer 1

As of Spring/Summer of 2021, there is a feature flag, DASHBOARD_RBAC, to manage which roles can access the dashboard. See this GitHub issue for more details.

Non-owner user access can be managed two different ways:

1. Dataset permissions - if you add to the relevant role permissions to datasets it automatically grants implicit access to all dashboards that uses those permitted datasets
2. Dashboard roles - if you enable DASHBOARD_RBAC feature flag in superset_config.py then you be able to manage which roles can access the dashboard

Having dashboard access implicitly grants read access to the associated datasets, therefore all charts will load their data even if feature flag is turned on and no roles assigned to roles the access will fallback to Dataset permissions.

How can I enable DASHBOARD_RBAC? – Cockcroft

You can enable or disable feature flags from superset_config.py: superset.apache.org/docs/installation/configuring-superset/… – Estate

Answer 2

Yes,

1. Setup role (rules) : my trick is copy gamma rules, rename,

2. edit permission, just type your dashboard name, youll find : datasource:your dashboard name, add that, that's it.

3. Setup user, give rules (number 1)

Your new user will able to see the specific dashboard you point (number 2)

As of v0.37, it seems you can only see datasources and not dashboards when editing permissions. – Northway

Yes, correct, sorry, for dashboard, go to dashboard list, edit owner, put your secondary user in that owner name box, as for datasets, its required permissions at user roles, if you just put the name without the permissions, some data may chart or data may not be able to load – Appellative

View Access
To control who sees a dashboard, define an access role for the datasource associated with the dashboard content.

For example:

1. create role_1 with permissions datasource access on [my_db].[dash1_data].
2. Assign user1 to role_1 and gamma (standard user profile).

dashboard1 is now presented to user1 assuming it's based on dash1_data.

Write Access
To control which non-admin users can edit dashboards set the Dashboard Owner.

Dashboard List > Edit [dashboard1] > Access Owners

Add individual users to the owner list to provide write access to individual dashboards.
