How to grant access for anonymous / no login users to a dashboard.

[digimen-ch]

I have a dashboard with 2 charts and two data sources. As described here: https://superset.apache.org/docs/security/#public I added

PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE = "Gamma"

to my superset_config.py and added permission for the two data sources to role Gamma. No effect. So I was digging around and found this

AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC = "Public"

But also this doesn't work. It seems the documentation is not complete, ChatGPT not helpful at all and after wasting half a day for this simple task I'm quite annoyed.

I run superset Version: 4.0.2 on debian 12, nginx, gunicorn. Many thanks for your help.

Hello, @digimen-ch! I'm here to help you with your Apache Superset issue. Let's work together to solve this!

To grant access for anonymous users to view dashboards in Superset 4.0.2, you need to ensure the following configurations are correctly set in your superset_config.py file:

1. Set the Public Role:

   • Ensure AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC is set to 'Public':

     AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC = 'Public'

2. Mimic Permissions:

   • Set PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE to 'Gamma' to mimic the permissions of the Gamma role:

     PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE = 'Gamma'

3. Grant Data Source Access:

   • You must manually grant access to the specific data sources for the Public role. This involves editing the permissions for the Public role to include access to the data sources used in your dashboard.

4. Verify Permissions:

   • Double-check that the Gamma role has the necessary permissions to view the dashboards and slices. The Public role will inherit these permissions, but explicit grants for data sources are still required.

If these steps are correctly followed and you still face issues, ensure that your Superset instance is restarted after making changes to the configuration file. Additionally, verify that there are no other overriding configurations or permission settings that might be affecting access.

Great. A bot. If I want to talk to a bot I go talk to a bot. I got all this kind of answers already several times.

I set

AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC = "Public"
PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE = 'Gamma'

I set the permissions to the public role

The gamma role have the necessary permissions:

I did restart several times. Other settings, TALISMAN for example, work properly.
