Managing Superset access
You control access to Superset data sources by using Superset roles and permissions.
Superset has three roles mapped to BigAnimal roles:
- Gamma
- Alpha
- Admin
Learn more about Superset roles, users, and permissions management in Superset Security.
The Superset roles map to BigAnimal permissions:
| Superset role | Description | BigAnimal permissions mapped to Superset role |
|---|---|---|
| Gamma | View data that user has been granted access to, create dashboards | Project viewer |
| Alpha | All Superset Gamma privileges, plus the ability to add or modify data sources | Project editor |
| Admin | All Superset Alpha privileges, plus access to SQL Lab and the ability to grant or revoke access to data to other users | Project owner |
Notes
- Access to Superset is currently limited to the initial default project set up by BigAnimal. The user needs to have a project role for the initial project to access Superset.
- While Admin users have access to all databases by default, both Alpha and Gamma users need to be given access via the Superset sql_lab role on a per database basis. The sql_lab role grants access to SQL Lab.
To assign BigAnimal user roles, see Users.
