Previously the linter only flagged bare relative links (no .md/.mdx
extension). The Docusaurus build catches the other two classes
(`onBrokenMarkdownLinks: 'throw'`), but only after a multi-minute
compile. Now the source-level lint catches all three:
bare `[X](../foo)` (skips file resolver entirely)
missing-target `[X](./gone.md)` (target file doesn't exist)
wrong-extension `[X](./foo.md)` w/ .mdx (the .md vs .mdx mismatch
that broke the previous
CI run on this branch)
Implementation:
- classifyLink() resolves the link target against the source file's
directory. If it exists → ok. If not but the other extension does →
wrong-extension (reports which extension is actually on disk). If
neither exists → missing-target.
- Output groups findings by kind with category-specific explanations
so the developer immediately knows whether to add an extension, fix
one, or chase a real missing target.
Verified end-to-end by injecting one of each failure mode in turn
and confirming the linter reports the right file:line / category;
restoring the file always returns the lint to green.
Build-time `onBrokenMarkdownLinks: 'throw'` stays in place — defense
in depth. The lint just makes the same finding visible in seconds
rather than minutes.
CI caught a follow-on bug from the previous commit. The component
files emitted by generate-superset-components.mjs are `.mdx`, but
my generator patch appended `.md` to the link suffix. Result: the
generated index pages (ui/index.mdx, design-system/index.mdx, and
the build-time-generated extension/index.mdx) reference
`./autocomplete.md`, `./dropdowncontainer.md`, etc. — all targets
that don't exist (the real files are `.mdx`). Docusaurus's
`onBrokenMarkdownLinks: 'throw'` correctly bombs the build.
Worth calling out: this is exactly the failure mode the previous
commit was trying to fix — bare relative links 404'd silently; now
that they go through the file resolver, the resolver catches the
extension mismatch instead. The system is working; my fix was just
wrong on this one detail.
Two corrections:
1. generate-superset-components.mjs now emits `.mdx` suffix (not
`.md`) on the component links it produces, matching the actual
page file format. Comment updated to make the intent explicit
for future maintainers.
2. The two committed auto-generated index files
(developer_docs/components/ui/index.mdx and
developer_docs/components/design-system/index.mdx) had 46 + 7 =
53 `.md` link suffixes from the previous commit. Bulk-corrected
to `.mdx` to match their actual targets. The third generated
file (components/extension/index.mdx) is produced at build time
and not committed; the generator fix above handles it.
Verified with a re-audit script: 92/92 markdown-link targets across
the PR's modified files now resolve to real `.md` / `.mdx` files on
disk. lint-docs-links still passes (it only fails on missing
extensions, not on this category of mismatch — that's `onBroken
MarkdownLinks`'s job, and it WAS doing its job here).
Copilot flagged two stragglers on editors.md where the previous
file-by-file conversion stopped halfway. Sweeping for the same
pattern across the active content tree found 76 bare relative
internal links total — 14 in this PR's already-modified files
(Copilot's two plus twelve more) and 62 in unchanged files.
Why the build doesn't catch this
─────────────────────────────────
`onBrokenLinks: 'throw'` (set in this PR) only validates *file-based*
markdown references — links whose URL ends in `.md` / `.mdx`. Those
go through Docusaurus's file resolver, which can prove the target
exists. Bare relative URL paths like `[Foo](../foo)` skip that
resolver entirely; Docusaurus emits them as raw hrefs. The browser
then resolves them against the *current* page URL, and for
trailing-slash routes that almost always lands in the wrong
directory. Page navigates client-side and 404s. The linkinator job
in CI *can* catch these, but it's `continue-on-error: true` so
findings are advisory.
What this commit does
──────────────────────
1. Fix all 76 bare relative internal links across the active docs
tree by appending `.md` to each one (preserving anchors / query
strings). All 76 targets resolved to real files; no link
targets changed, only the form of the reference.
2. Fix the component-page generator. 54 of the 76 bare links lived
in two auto-generated index files (`components/ui/index.mdx`
and `components/design-system/index.mdx`). The next regeneration
would have undone the manual fixes without this. The two
emission sites in `generate-superset-components.mjs` now emit
`.md`-suffixed links; comment at the call site explains why.
3. Add `docs/scripts/lint-docs-links.mjs` — fast source-level
linter that scans `.md`/`.mdx` files under the active content
trees (skipping `versioned_docs/` snapshots) and fails if it
finds any markdown link whose URL starts with `./` or `../` and
does not end in `.md`/`.mdx`. Excludes asset paths (.png,
.json, etc.) and ignores fenced code blocks. Wired up as
`yarn lint:docs-links`.
4. Add a `Lint docs links` step to `superset-docs-verify.yml`,
running before the build step so PRs that introduce the pattern
fail in seconds rather than at build-time / not at all. Blocking,
not advisory — exactly the gap linkinator's `continue-on-error`
leaves open.

- `yarn lint:docs-links` exits 0 on the cleaned tree
- Re-introducing one bare link makes the linter report the exact
file:line with the offending URL, exit code 1
- All 76 originally-flagged targets resolved to real `.md` / `.mdx`
files; only the form of the reference changed
Previously docusaurus.config.ts had `onBrokenLinks: 'warn'`, so broken
internal links produced advisory warnings during build but didn't gate
merges. Tightening to `throw` surfaces every broken internal route at
build time. Three classes of issue fell out:
1. Stale `/docs/...` and `/docs/6.0.0/...` references in the 6.0.0
versioned snapshot. The user-facing docs section was renamed
`docs` → `user-docs` (routeBasePath) at some point after 6.0.0 was
cut, but the snapshot's links still pointed at the old prefix. The
live site redirects /docs/* → /user-docs/* at runtime, but
Docusaurus's onBrokenLinks checker doesn't honor redirects.
Bulk-rewrote /docs/* → /user-docs/* across the snapshot (and one
/docs/api → /developer-docs/api).
2. Bare-relative MDX links like `[Label](./mcp)` (no .md/.mdx
extension). Docusaurus renders an absolute href in SSR HTML, so
static crawlers see correct links — BUT React Router's `<Link>`
component on the client side resolves the bare path relative to
the current URL on click, so when the page URL has a trailing
slash (e.g. /extensions/overview/), `./mcp` becomes
/extensions/overview/mcp (404). This is exactly the broken-flow a
user reported on /developer-docs/extensions/overview/. Added the
`.md`/`.mdx` extension to all 44 such links across 17 files; this
makes Docusaurus resolve them to the canonical doc URL at the
<Link> level, so SPA navigation works regardless of trailing slash.
3. Miscellaneous content fixes:
- 4 `/configuration/feature-flags` references in 6.0.0 snapshot
pointed at a page that doesn't exist in that version (the
dedicated feature-flags page was added later). Repointed to the
`#feature-flags` anchor inside `configuring-superset.mdx`.
- 3 references to `superset-core/src/superset_core/rest_api/decorators.py`
in extensions docs were rendered as relative URLs, resolving to
/developer-docs/extensions/superset-core/... (404). Converted to
absolute GitHub URLs.
- 1 `/storybook/?path=...` link in extensions/components/index.mdx
pointed at a non-existent route. Repointed to the existing
`/developer-docs/testing/storybook` page that explains how to
run Storybook locally.
- 4 unclosed-paren markdown links in 6.0.0 installation-methods.mdx
(pre-existing source bugs).
Build now passes with `onBrokenLinks: 'throw'`. Note that
`onBrokenAnchors` is still `'warn'` (default); a separate effort
should tighten that and fix the surviving anchor warnings (currently
~60 instances of `/community#superset-community-calendar`).

To ensure engineering focus remains on verified risks and to manage high reporting volumes, all reports must meet the following criteria:
-Plain Text Format: In accordance with Apache guidelines, please provide all details in plain text within the email body. Avoid sending PDFs, Word documents, or password-protected archives.
- Mandatory AI Disclosure: If you utilized Large Language Models (LLMs) or AI tools to identify a flaw or assist in writing a report, you must disclose this in your submission so our triage team can contextualize the findings.
- Human-Verified PoC: All submissions must include a manual, step-by-step Proof of Concept (PoC) performed on a supported release. Raw AI outputs, hypothetical chat transcripts, or unverified scanner logs will be closed as Invalid.
We kindly ask you to include the following information in your report to assist our developers in triaging and remediating issues efficiently:
- Version/Commit: The specific version of Apache Superset or the Git commit hash you are using.
- Configuration: A sanitized copy of your `superset_config.py` file or any config overrides.
- Environment: Your deployment method (e.g., Docker Compose, Helm, or source) and relevant OS/Browser details.
- Impacted Component: Identification of the affected area (e.g., Python backend, React frontend, or a specific database connector).
- Expected vs. Actual Behavior: A clear description of the intended system behavior versus the observed vulnerability.
- Detailed Reproduction Steps: Clear, manual steps to reproduce the vulnerability.
**Out of Scope Vulnerabilities**
To prioritize engineering efforts on genuine architectural risks, the following scenarios are explicitly out of scope and will not be issued a CVE:
- Attacks requiring Admin privileges: (e.g., CSS injection, template manipulation, dashboard ownership overrides, or modifying global system settings). Per the CVE vulnerability definition in CNA Operational Rules 4.1, a qualifying vulnerability must allow violation of a security policy. The Admin role is a fully trusted operational boundary defined by Apache Superset's security policy; actions within this boundary do not violate that policy and are therefore considered intended capabilities 'by design,' not vulnerabilities.
- Brute Force and Rate Limiting: Reports targeting a lack of resource exhaustion protections, generic rate-limiting, or volumetric Denial of Service (DoS) attempts.
- Theoretical attack vectors: Issues without a demonstrable, reproducible exploit path.
- Non-Exploitable Findings: Missing security headers, generic banner disclosures, or descriptive error messages that do not lead to a direct, documented exploit.
**Outcome of Reports**
Reports that are deemed out-of-scope for a CVE but represent valid security best practices or hardening opportunities may be converted into public GitHub issues. This allows the community to contribute to the general hardening of the platform even when a specific vulnerability threshold is not met.
Note that Apache Superset is not responsible for any third-party dependencies that may
have security issues. Any vulnerabilities found in third-party dependencies should be

**Vulnerability Aggregation & CVE Attribution**
In accordance with MITRE CNA Operational Rules (4.1.10, 4.1.11, and 4.2.13), Apache Superset issues CVEs based on the underlying architectural root cause rather than the number of affected endpoints or exploit payloads.
- Aggregation: If multiple exploit vectors stem from the same programmatic failure or shared vulnerable code, they must be aggregated into a single, comprehensive report.
- Independent Fixes: Separate CVEs will only be assigned if the vulnerabilities reside in decoupled architectural modules and can be fixed independently of one another.
Reports that fail to aggregate related findings will be merged during triage to ensure an accurate and defensible CVE record.

When the feature flag is enabled, these permissions are enforced on both the frontend (disabled buttons with tooltips) and backend (403 responses from API endpoints). When disabled, legacy `can_csv` behavior is preserved.
**Migration behavior:** All three new permissions are granted to every role that currently has `can_csv`, preserving existing access. Admins can then selectively revoke individual export permissions from specific roles as needed.
### Deck.gl MapBox viewport and opacity controls are functional
The Deck.gl MapBox chart's **Opacity**, **Default longitude**, **Default latitude**, and **Zoom** controls were previously non-functional — changing them had no effect on the rendered map. These controls are now wired up correctly.
**Behavior change for existing charts:** Previously, the viewport controls had hard-coded default values (`-122.405293`, `37.772123`, zoom `11` — San Francisco) that were stored in each chart's `form_data` but never applied. The map always used `fitBounds` to center on the data. With this fix, those stored values are now respected, which means existing MapBox charts may open centered on the old default coordinates instead of fitting to data bounds.
**To restore fit-to-data behavior:** Open the chart in Explore, clear the **Default longitude**, **Default latitude**, and **Zoom** fields in the Viewport section, and re-save the chart.
### Combined datasource list endpoint
Added a new combined datasource list endpoint at `GET /api/v1/datasource/` to serve datasets and semantic views in one response.
- The endpoint is available to users with at least one of `can_read` on `Dataset` or `SemanticView`.
- Semantic views are included only when the `SEMANTIC_LAYERS` feature flag is enabled.
- The endpoint enforces strict `order_column` validation and returns `400` for invalid sort columns.
### ClickHouse minimum driver version bump
The minimum required version of `clickhouse-connect` has been raised to `>=0.13.0`. If you are using the ClickHouse connector, please upgrade your `clickhouse-connect` package. The `_mutate_label` workaround that appended hash suffixes to column aliases has also been removed, as it is no longer needed with modern versions of the driver.

#### Before You Cut
The cut snapshots whatever's on disk into a frozen historical version, including auto-generated content (database pages from `superset/db_engine_specs/`, API reference from `static/resources/openapi.json`, component pages from Storybook stories). The cut script refreshes these via `generate:smart` before snapshotting, but the **`databases.json` diagnostics file** needs special care to capture full detail:
1.**Canonical release cut**: download the `database-diagnostics` artifact from a green `Python-Integration` run on master, place it at `docs/src/data/databases.json`, then run the cut script with `--skip-generate` to preserve it. This is what the production deploy uses and includes full Flask-context diagnostics (driver versions, feature support matrix, etc.).
2.**Local dev cut**: just run the script normally. `generate:smart` will regenerate `databases.json` using your local Flask environment — accurate to whatever drivers/extras you have installed, but typically less complete than the CI artifact.
3.**No Flask available**: also fine — the database generator falls back to AST parsing of engine spec files. The MDX pages are still correct; only the diagnostics JSON is leaner.
Also: confirm `master` CI is green, and that your local checkout matches the SHA you intend to cut from.
#### Using Automated Scripts (Required)
**⚠️ Important:** Always use these custom commands instead of the native Docusaurus commands. These scripts ensure that both the Docusaurus versioning system AND the `versions-config.json` file are updated correctly.

What the script does:
1. Refreshes auto-generated content via `generate:smart` (database pages, API reference, component pages).
2. Calls `yarn docusaurus docs:version` (or the per-section equivalent) to snapshot the section.
3. Freezes any data-file imports (`@site/static/*.json`, `../../data/*.json`) into a snapshot-local `_versioned_data/` dir so the historical version doesn't silently mutate when the source files change.

# AWS IAM Authentication for AWS Databases
Superset supports IAM-based authentication for **Amazon Aurora** (PostgreSQL and MySQL) and **Amazon Redshift**. IAM auth eliminates the need for database passwords — Superset generates a short-lived auth token using temporary AWS credentials instead.
Cross-account IAM role assumption via STS `AssumeRole` is supported, allowing a Superset deployment in one AWS account to connect to databases in a different account.
## Prerequisites
- Enable the `AWS_DATABASE_IAM_AUTH` feature flag in `superset_config.py`. IAM authentication is gated behind this flag; if it is disabled, connections using `aws_iam` fail with *"AWS IAM database authentication is not enabled."*
```python
FEATURE_FLAGS = {
"AWS_DATABASE_IAM_AUTH": True,
}
```
- `boto3` must be installed in your Superset environment:
```bash
pip install boto3
```
- The Superset server's IAM role (or static credentials) must have permission to call `sts:AssumeRole` (for cross-account) or the same-account permissions for the target service:
- **Redshift Serverless**: `redshift-serverless:GetCredentials` and `redshift-serverless:GetWorkgroup`
- SSL must be enabled on the Aurora / Redshift endpoint (required for IAM token auth).
## Configuration
IAM authentication is configured via the **encrypted_extra** field of the database connection. Access this field in the **Advanced** → **Security** section of the database connection form, under **Secure Extra**.
**3. Configure the database connection in Superset** using the `role_arn` and `external_id` from the trust policy (as shown in the configuration example above).
## Credential Caching
STS credentials are cached in memory keyed by `(role_arn, region, external_id)` with a 10-minute TTL. This reduces the number of STS API calls when multiple queries are executed with the same connection. Tokens are refreshed automatically before expiry.
Additional selenium web drive configuration can be set using `WEBDRIVER_CONFIGURATION`. You can
implement a custom function to authenticate selenium. The default function uses the `flask-login`
To control which user account is used for rendering thumbnails and warming up caches, configure
`THUMBNAIL_EXECUTORS` and `CACHE_WARMUP_EXECUTORS`. Each accepts a list of executor types (which
resolve to an owner, creator, modifier, or the currently-logged-in user) and/or a `FixedExecutor`
pinned to a specific username. By default, thumbnails render as the current user
(`ExecutorType.CURRENT_USER`) and cache warmup runs as the chart/dashboard owner
(`ExecutorType.OWNER`).
To force both to run as a dedicated service account (`admin` in this example):
```python
from superset.tasks.types import ExecutorType, FixedExecutor
THUMBNAIL_EXECUTORS = [FixedExecutor("admin")]
CACHE_WARMUP_EXECUTORS = [FixedExecutor("admin")]
```
Use a dedicated read-only service account here rather than a personal admin account, so that
thumbnail rendering and cache warmup tasks don't fail if a specific user's credentials change.

```

→ 200 OK (with new image if changed)

## Security Configuration
### HASH_ALGORITHM
Controls the hashing algorithm used for internal checksums and cache keys (thumbnails, cache keys, etc.). The default is `sha256`, which satisfies environments with stricter compliance requirements (e.g., FedRAMP). Set it to `md5` to retain the legacy behavior from older Superset deployments:
```python
HASH_ALGORITHM = "sha256" # default; set to "md5" for legacy behavior
```
A companion `HASH_ALGORITHM_FALLBACKS` list (default: `["md5"]`) lets UUID lookups fall back to older algorithms, which enables gradual migration without breaking existing entries. Set it to `[]` for strict mode (use only `HASH_ALGORITHM`).
:::note
This setting affects internal Superset operations only, not user passwords or authentication tokens. Changing it in an existing deployment may invalidate cached values but does not require a database migration.
:::
## SQL Lab Query History Pruning
SQL Lab query history is stored in the metadata database and is **not** pruned by default. To trim older rows, enable the `prune_query` Celery beat task by uncommenting it in `CELERY_BEAT_SCHEDULE` and choosing a retention window:
Adjust `retention_period_days` to control how long query rows are kept. Companion opt-in tasks (`prune_logs`, `prune_tasks`) exist for pruning the logs and tasks tables; see the commented-out examples in `superset/config.py`. Without enabling these tasks, the metadata database will grow unbounded over time.

When importing a dashboard ZIP with the **overwrite** option enabled, any existing charts that are part of the dashboard are **replaced** rather than duplicated. This applies to:
- Charts whose UUID matches a chart already present in the target instance
- The full chart configuration (query, visualization type, columns, metrics) is replaced by the imported version
If you import without the overwrite flag, existing charts with conflicting UUIDs are left unchanged and the import skips those objects. Use overwrite when you want to push a fully updated dashboard (including chart definitions) from a development or staging environment to production.
## UUIDs in API Responses
The REST API POST endpoints for **datasets**, **charts**, and **dashboards** include the auto-generated `uuid` field in the response body:
```json
{
"id": 42,
"uuid": "b8a8d5c3-1234-4abc-8def-0123456789ab",

UUIDs remain stable across import/export cycles and can be used for cross-environment workflows — for example, recording a UUID when creating a chart in development and using it to identify the matching chart after importing into production.

### Tool Search
By default the MCP server exposes a lightweight tool-search interface instead of advertising every tool at once. This reduces the initial context sent to the LLM by ~70%, which lowers cost and latency. The AI client discovers tools on demand by calling `search_tools` and then invokes them via `call_tool`.

## Access Control
### RBAC Enforcement
The MCP server respects Superset's full role-based access control (RBAC). Every authenticated user can only access the data and operations their Superset roles permit — the same rules that apply in the Superset UI apply through MCP.
Each tool declares one or more required FAB permissions. The table below maps tool groups to their permission requirements:
| Tool group | Required FAB permission |
|------------|------------------------|
| `list_charts`, `get_chart_info`, `get_chart_data`, `get_chart_preview`, `generate_chart`, `update_chart` | `can_read` on `Chart` (read), `can_write` on `Chart` (mutate) |

| `open_sql_lab_with_context` | `can_read` on `SQLLab` |
| `save_sql_query` | `can_write` on `SavedQuery` |
| `health_check` | None (public) |
To disable RBAC checking globally (for trusted-network deployments or testing), set:
```python
# superset_config.py
MCP_RBAC_ENABLED = False
```
:::warning
Disabling RBAC removes all permission checks from MCP tool calls. Only do this on isolated, internal deployments where all MCP users are trusted admins.
:::
### Audit Log
All MCP tool calls are recorded in Superset's action log. You can view them at **Settings → Action Log** (admin only). Each log entry records:
- The tool name (e.g., `mcp.generate_chart.db_write`)
- The authenticated user
- A timestamp
This makes MCP activity fully auditable alongside regular Superset activity. The action log uses the same event logger as the rest of Superset, so existing log ingestion pipelines (e.g., sending logs to Elasticsearch or a SIEM) capture MCP events automatically.
### Middleware Pipeline
Every MCP request passes through a middleware stack before reaching the tool function. The default stack (assembled in `build_middleware_list()` in `server.py`) is:
| Middleware | Purpose | Default |
|------------|---------|---------|
| `StructuredContentStripperMiddleware` | Strips `structuredContent` from responses for Claude.ai bridge compatibility | Enabled |
| `LoggingMiddleware` | Logs each tool call with user, parameters, and duration | Enabled |
| `GlobalErrorHandlerMiddleware` | Catches unhandled exceptions and sanitizes sensitive data before it reaches the client | Enabled |
| `ResponseSizeGuardMiddleware` | Estimates token count, warns at 80% of limit, blocks at limit | Enabled (configurable via `MCP_RESPONSE_SIZE_CONFIG`) |
| `ResponseCachingMiddleware` | Caches read-heavy tool responses (in-memory or Redis) | Disabled (enable via `MCP_CACHE_CONFIG`) |
Additional middleware classes (`RateLimitMiddleware`, `FieldPermissionsMiddleware`, `PrivateToolMiddleware`) are implemented in `superset/mcp_service/middleware.py` but are not added to the default pipeline. They are available for operators who want to layer them in via a custom startup path.
### Error Sanitization
The `GlobalErrorHandlerMiddleware` automatically redacts sensitive information from all error messages before they reach the LLM client. The following are replaced with generic messages:
- **Database connection strings** — replaced with a generic connection error message
- **API keys and tokens** — redacted from error traces
- **File system paths** — stripped to prevent information disclosure
- **IP addresses** — removed from error context
This ensures that a misconfigured database connection or an unexpected exception never leaks credentials or internal topology to the LLM or its users. All regex patterns used for redaction are bounded to prevent ReDoS attacks.
---
## Performance
### Connection Pooling
Each MCP server process maintains its own SQLAlchemy connection pool to the database. For multi-worker deployments, total open connections = **workers × pool size**.
```python
# superset_config.py
SQLALCHEMY_POOL_SIZE = 5
SQLALCHEMY_MAX_OVERFLOW = 10
SQLALCHEMY_POOL_TIMEOUT = 30
SQLALCHEMY_POOL_RECYCLE = 3600 # Recycle connections after 1 hour
```
For a 3-pod Kubernetes deployment with the defaults above, expect up to 3 × (5 + 10) = 45 connections. Size your database's `max_connections` accordingly.
### Response Caching
Enable response caching for read-heavy workloads (dashboards/datasets that don't change frequently). With the in-memory backend (default when `MCP_STORE_CONFIG` is disabled), caching is per-process. Use Redis-backed caching for consistent cache hits across multiple pods:
Mutating tools (`generate_chart`, `update_chart`, `execute_sql`, `generate_dashboard`) are always excluded from caching regardless of this setting.

## Audit Events
All MCP tool calls are logged to Superset's event logger, the same system used by the web UI (viewable at **Settings → Action Log**). Each event captures:
- **User**: the resolved Superset username from the JWT or dev config
- **Timestamp**: when the operation ran
This means MCP activity is auditable alongside normal user activity. No additional configuration is required — logging is on by default whenever the event logger is enabled in your Superset deployment.
## Tool Pagination
MCP list tools (`list_datasets`, `list_charts`, `list_dashboards`, `list_databases`) use **offset pagination** via `page` (1-based) and `page_size` parameters. Responses include `page`, `page_size`, `total_count`, `total_pages`, `has_previous`, and `has_next`. To iterate through all results:
```python
# Example: fetch all charts across pages
all_charts = []
page = 1
while True:
result = mcp.list_charts(page=page, page_size=50)
all_charts.extend(result["charts"])

The challenge however lies with the slew of [database engines](/user-docs/databases#installing-drivers-in-docker) which Apache Superset supports and various inconsistencies between their [Python Database API (DB-API)](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/) implementations combined with the fact that we use [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) to read SQL into a DataFrame prior to serializing to JSON.

Once configured, the documentation for additional "Security" endpoints will be visible in Swagger for you to explore.
### API Key Authentication
Superset supports long-lived API keys for service accounts, CI/CD pipelines, and programmatic integrations (including MCP clients).
#### Enabling API Key Authentication
API key authentication is **disabled by default**. To turn it on, set the Flask-AppBuilder config value in `superset_config.py` and also enable the matching feature flag so the management UI is exposed:
```python
FAB_API_KEY_ENABLED = True
FEATURE_FLAGS = {
"FAB_API_KEY_ENABLED": True,
}
```
The config value registers the `ApiKeyApi` blueprint on the backend; the feature flag controls whether the UI for managing keys appears for the user. See the [Feature Flags](/admin-docs/configuration/feature-flags) documentation for more on feature flag configuration.
#### Creating an API Key
Once enabled, each user manages their own keys from their profile page:
1. Open the user menu (top-right) and click **Info** to navigate to the User Info page
2. Expand the **API Keys** section
3. Click **+ API Key**
4. Enter a name and (optionally) an expiration date
5. Copy the generated token — it is shown only once
Only users with the `can_read` and `can_write` permissions on `ApiKey` (granted by default to Admins) can manage API keys.
#### Using an API Key
Pass the key as a Bearer token in the `Authorization` header:
```
Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>
```
This works for all REST API endpoints and the MCP server. The request is executed with the permissions of the user who created the key.
#### Use Cases
- **CI/CD pipelines** — automated chart/dashboard exports and imports
- **MCP integrations** — connect AI assistants without interactive login
- **External services** — dashboards embedded in other applications
- **Service accounts** — long-lived credentials that don't expire with session cookies
:::caution
Store API keys securely. Anyone with a valid key can make requests on behalf of the creating user. Revoke keys promptly if they are compromised by deleting them from the **API Keys** section of your User Info page.

### Row Level Security
Using Row Level Security filters (under the **Security** menu) you can create filters
that are assigned to a particular table, as well as a set of roles.
that are assigned to a particular dataset, as well as a set of roles.
If you want members of the Finance team to only have access to
rows where `department = "finance"`, you could:
- Create a Row Level Security filter with that clause (`department = "finance"`)
- Then assign the clause to the **Finance** role and the table it applies to
- Then assign the clause to the **Finance** role and the dataset it applies to
The **clause** field, which can contain arbitrary text, is then added to the generated
SQL statement’s WHERE clause. So you could even do something like create a filter
SQL statement's WHERE clause. So you could even do something like create a filter
for the last 30 days and apply it to a specific role, with a clause
like `date_field > DATE_SUB(NOW(), INTERVAL 30 DAY)`. It can also support
multiple conditions: `client_id = 6` AND `advertiser="foo"`, etc.
All relevant Row level security filters will be combined together (under the hood,
the different SQL clauses are combined using AND statements). This means it's
possible to create a situation where two roles conflict in such a way as to limit a table subset to empty.
RLS clauses also support **Jinja templating** when `ENABLE_TEMPLATE_PROCESSING` is enabled, so you can write dynamic filters such as
`user_id = '{{ current_username() }}'` to restrict rows based on the logged-in user.
For example, the filters `client_id=4` and `client_id=5`, applied to a role,
will result in users of that role having `client_id=4` AND `client_id=5`
added to their query, which can never be true.
#### Filter Types
There are two types of RLS filters:
- **Regular** — The filter clause is applied when the querying user belongs to one of the
roles assigned to the filter. Use this to restrict what specific roles can see.
- **Base** — The filter clause is applied to **all** users _except_ those in the assigned
roles. Use this to define a default restriction that privileged roles (e.g. Admin) are
exempt from. For example, a Base filter with clause `1 = 0` and the Admin role would
hide all rows from everyone except Admin — useful as a deny-by-default baseline.
#### Group Keys and Filter Combination
All applicable RLS filters are combined before being added to the query. The combination
rules are:
- Filters that share the **same group key** are combined with **OR** (any match within
the group is sufficient).
- Different filter groups (different group keys, or no group key) are combined with
**AND** (all groups must match).
- Filters with **no group key** are each treated as their own group and are always AND'd.
