avoid CodeQL py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data; log at DEBUG instead
- Log count of invalid FAB_API_KEY_PREFIXES entries rather than values to
avoid the same CodeQL rule in composite_token_verifier.py
- Add regression test asserting "ApiKey" in ADMIN_ONLY_VIEW_MENUS so a
future rename cannot silently re-open the FAB ApiKeyApi to non-Admin roles
A plain string value (e.g. FAB_API_KEY_PREFIXES = "sst_") would iterate
as individual characters ['s','s','t','_'], matching far too many tokens.
Wrap strings in a list at the config-read boundary so CompositeTokenVerifier
always receives a proper sequence regardless of how the config is set.

_mock_sm_ctx now sets find_user_with_relationships.return_value = None so
JWT/dev-user lookups that delegate through the (now refactored)
load_user_with_relationships → security_manager.find_user_with_relationships
path behave as "user not found" in unit tests that don't patch the DB — matching
the behavior of the previous direct db.session.query() implementation.
Without this, tests that expected ValueError("not found") received a truthy
MagicMock() from the unspecified mock method, causing them to fail.

Fixes a gap identified in code review: the standalone load_user_with_relationships()
in auth.py duplicated SecurityManager.find_user() logic but dropped two FAB behaviors:
- auth_username_ci (case-insensitive username lookup)
- MultipleResultsFound guard (username uniqueness not guaranteed at DB level in all FAB versions)
It also hard-coded User/Group models instead of sm.user_model.
Changes:
- Add SupersetSecurityManager.find_user_with_relationships() to security/manager.py,
mirroring FAB's find_user() (auth_username_ci, MultipleResultsFound handling,
self.user_model) and adding eager loading of roles and group.roles via joinedload
- Simplify load_user_with_relationships() in auth.py to a thin delegate to the
new method, removing the duplicated query logic and raw Group/User imports
- Add regression test asserting find_user_with_relationships() exists on the SM

DetailedJWTVerifier and JWTVerifier have no circular-import or optional-
dependency reason to be imported inline — fastmcp is already pulled in
at module top via composite_token_verifier, and authlib is already a
hard dependency. Moving them up for consistency with the rest of the
module's imports.
``superset init`` calls ``appbuilder.add_permissions(update_perms=True)``
before ``sync_role_definitions()`` (cli/main.py:84), which forces FAB to
walk all registered baseviews — including ``ApiKeyApi`` (registered when
``FAB_API_KEY_ENABLED=True``) — and create their PVMs via
``add_permissions_view``. The explicit ``add_permission_view_menu`` calls
in ``create_custom_permissions`` were redundant.
With ``"ApiKey"`` already in ``ADMIN_ONLY_VIEW_MENUS``, the role
predicate ``_is_admin_only`` gates the auto-created PVMs to Admin.
Per Daniel Gaspar's review: "Adding ApiKey to ADMIN_ONLY_VIEW_MENUS
should just work when FAB_API_KEY_ENABLED is True".
The API_KEY_PASSTHROUGH_CLAIM constant in auth.py and CompositeTokenVerifier
in mcp_config.py have no circular-import or optional-dependency reason to
be imported inline. Moved them to module top.
Three independent bugs let MCP requests presenting Bearer tokens with the
sst_ prefix authenticate as MCP_DEV_USERNAME without any validation under
streamable-http:
1. _resolve_user_from_api_key read the token from flask.request.headers,
but the streamable-http transport never pushes a Flask request context
— has_request_context() was always False, so the function returned
None before validating, falling through to the dev-user fallback.
Now reads the token from FastMCP's per-request AccessToken (which the
CompositeTokenVerifier already populated) and fails closed when the
key is invalid.
2. CompositeTokenVerifier was only installed when MCP_AUTH_ENABLED=True.
With FAB_API_KEY_ENABLED=True alone, no transport-level verifier
existed at all. The factory now builds an API-key-only verifier in
that case (jwt_verifier=None) that rejects non-API-key Bearer tokens
at the transport instead of silently accepting them.
3. The pass-through AccessToken was minted with scopes=[], which would
make FastMCP's RequireAuthMiddleware 403 every API-key request when
MCP_REQUIRED_SCOPES is non-empty. Pass-through now propagates
self.required_scopes.
Also addresses Daniel's review comment on superset/security/manager.py:
adds "ApiKey" to ADMIN_ONLY_VIEW_MENUS so the FAB ApiKeyApi PVMs are
gated to Admin instead of leaking to Alpha and Gamma.
Renames the pass-through claim from _api_key_passthrough to the
namespaced _superset_mcp_api_key_passthrough (exported as
API_KEY_PASSTHROUGH_CLAIM) so a custom claim from an external IdP can't
accidentally divert a JWT into the API-key validation path.
Tests updated to mock get_access_token instead of app.test_request_context
(the simulated Flask context was the reason the prior tests passed while
production failed). New tests cover API-key-only verifier mode, scope
propagation on pass-through, and the namespaced-claim isolation.
Wire CompositeTokenVerifier into create_default_mcp_auth_factory,
add _api_key_passthrough detection in _resolve_user_from_jwt_context,
create ApiKey permissions in create_custom_permissions, and update
test_auth_api_key with pass-through and non-matching prefix tests.
Two fixes for MCP API key authentication:
1. superset init now creates ApiKey FAB permissions (can_list, can_create,
can_get, can_delete) when FAB_API_KEY_ENABLED=True. Previously, because
Superset uses AppBuilder(update_perms=False), FAB skipped permission
creation during blueprint registration and superset init never picked
them up, causing 403 errors on /api/v1/security/api_keys/.
2. CompositeTokenVerifier allows API key tokens (e.g. sst_...) to coexist
with JWT auth on the MCP transport layer. Previously, when
MCP_AUTH_ENABLED=True, the JWTVerifier rejected all non-JWT Bearer
tokens at the transport layer before they could reach the Flask-level
_resolve_user_from_api_key() handler. The composite verifier detects
API key prefixes and passes them through with a marker claim, letting
the existing auth priority chain handle validation.
# Part 2: Verify RSA key - this is the same as running `gpg --verify {release}.asc {release}` and comparing the RSA key and email address against the KEYS file # noqa: E501
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.

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.

# 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.

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.

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`.
```python
MCP_TOOL_SEARCH_CONFIG = {
"enabled": True,
"strategy": "bm25", # "bm25" (natural language) or "regex"
| `max_results` | `5` | Maximum tools returned per search query |

Tool search reduces the initial token cost from ~15–20K tokens (full catalog) down to ~4–5K tokens (pinned tools + search interface) — roughly 85% savings at the start of each conversation.

## 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) |
| `list_dashboards`, `get_dashboard_info`, `generate_dashboard`, `add_chart_to_existing_dashboard` | `can_read` on `Dashboard` (read), `can_write` on `Dashboard` (mutate) |
| `list_datasets`, `get_dataset_info`, `create_virtual_dataset` | `can_read` on `Dataset` (read), `can_write` on `Dataset` (mutate) |
| `list_databases`, `get_database_info` | `can_read` on `Database` |
| `execute_sql` | `can_execute_sql_query` on `SQLLab` |
| `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"])

### 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 = {

#### 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

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.

Using Row Level Security filters (under the **Security** menu) you can create filters

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.
