Claude Code 4266d36cf4 docs: cut 6.1.0 versions for docs, admin_docs, developer_docs, components
Snapshots all four versioned Docusaurus sections at v6.1.0, cut from
master after the version-cutting tooling (#39837) and broken-internal-
links fixes (#40102) landed. Captures fresh auto-generated content and
freezes data dependencies so the historical snapshot stays correct.

Versioning behavior: lastVersion stays at current for every section,
so the canonical URLs (/docs/..., /admin-docs/..., /developer-docs/...,
/components/...) continue to render content from master. The current
version is consistently labeled "Next" with an unreleased banner, and
6.1.0 is a historical pin accessible only via its explicit version
segment.

Component playground: previously disabled: true in versions-config.json,
now enabled and versioned. The plugin block in docusaurus.config.ts
was already gated only by the disabled flag, so no other code changes
were needed to bring it back online.

Snapshot includes:
- All MDX content for the four sections.
- Auto-gen captured fresh: 74 database pages (engine spec metadata),
  ~1,800 API reference files (openapi.json), 59 component pages
  (Storybook stories).
- Data imports frozen at cut time into snapshot-local _versioned_data/
  dirs:
    versioned_docs/version-6.1.0/_versioned_data/src/data/databases.json
      (canonical 80-database diagnostics from master, preserved by the
      generator's input-hash cache)
    admin_docs_versioned_docs/version-6.1.0/_versioned_data/data/countries.json
    admin_docs_versioned_docs/version-6.1.0/_versioned_data/static/feature-flags.json
    developer_docs_versioned_docs/version-6.1.0/_versioned_data/static/data/components.json
- Import paths in deeply-nested files rewritten so they still resolve
  from one directory deeper inside the snapshot.

Verified via full yarn build: exit 0, no broken links surfaced by
onBrokenLinks: throw. Anchor warnings present are pre-existing on
master (community#superset-community-calendar) and unrelated.

# Granular Export Controls
Superset provides granular, permission-based controls for data export, image export, and clipboard operations. These replace the legacy `can_csv` permission with three fine-grained permissions that can be assigned independently to roles.
## Feature Flag
Granular export controls are gated behind the `GRANULAR_EXPORT_CONTROLS` feature flag. When the flag is disabled, the legacy `can_csv` permission behavior is preserved.
```python
FEATURE_FLAGS = {
"GRANULAR_EXPORT_CONTROLS": True,
}
```
## Permissions
| Permission | Resource | Controls |
| -------------------- | ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `can_export_data` | `Superset` | CSV, Excel, and JSON data exports from charts, dashboards, and SQL Lab |
| `can_export_image` | `Superset` | Screenshot (JPEG/PNG) and PDF exports from charts and dashboards |
| `can_copy_clipboard` | `Superset` | Copy-to-clipboard operations in SQL Lab and the Explore data pane |
## Default Role Assignments
The migration grants all three new permissions (`can_export_data`, `can_export_image`, `can_copy_clipboard`) to every role that currently has `can_csv`. This preserves existing behavior — no role loses access during the upgrade.
After the migration, admins can selectively revoke individual export permissions from any role to restrict access. For example, to prevent Gamma users from exporting data or images while still allowing clipboard operations, revoke `can_export_data` and `can_export_image` from the Gamma role.
## Configuration Steps
1. **Enable the feature flag** in `superset_config.py`:
```python
FEATURE_FLAGS = {
"GRANULAR_EXPORT_CONTROLS": True,
}
```
2. **Run the database migration** to register the new permissions:
```bash
superset db upgrade
```
3. **Initialize permissions** so roles are populated:
```bash
superset init
```
4. **Verify role assignments** in **Settings > List Roles**. Confirm that each role has the expected permissions from the table above.
5. **Customize as needed**: Grant or revoke individual export permissions on any role through the role editor.
## User Experience
When a user lacks a required export permission:
- **Menu items** (CSV, Excel, JSON, screenshot) appear **disabled** with an info tooltip icon explaining the restriction
- **Buttons** (SQL Lab download, clipboard copy) appear **disabled** with a tooltip on hover
- **API endpoints** return **403 Forbidden** when the corresponding permission is missing
## API Enforcement
The following API endpoints enforce granular export permissions when the feature flag is enabled:
| Endpoint | Required Permission |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
| `GET /api/v1/chart/{id}/data/` (CSV/Excel format) | `can_export_data` |
| `GET /api/v1/chart/{id}/cache_screenshot/` | `can_export_image` |
| `POST /api/v1/dashboard/{id}/cache_dashboard_screenshot/` | `can_export_image` |
| `GET /api/v1/sqllab/export/{client_id}/` | `can_export_data` |
| `POST /api/v1/sqllab/export_streaming/` | `can_export_data` |
