The key is to create **per-customer roles** rather than a single shared readonly role. Here's the pattern: 1. **Create a role per customer** (e.g., `customer_123_readonly`, `customer_456_readonly`). 2. **Assign each customer's users to their specific role.** 3. **Assign only the relevant dashboards to each customer's role** via the dashboard API (updating the dashboard's `roles` property to include only that customer's role). When `DASHBOARD_RBAC` is enabled and a dashboard has roles assigned, only users holding a matching role can see it — and dashboards without that role simply won't appear for those users [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/68920020-13a9-41cb-a578-aaea4405b0b5). 4. **Combine with RLS** — keep your existing RLS rules to enforce data isolation. The nice thing about `DASHBOARD_RBAC` is that role-holders also bypass per-datasource permission checks for charts on those dashboards, so you don't need to separately grant dataset access [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/68920020-13a9-41cb-a578-aaea4405b0b5). So instead of one `readonly` role mapped to all dashboards, you'd have: - `customer_A_role` → dashboards 1, 2, 3 - `customer_B_role` → dashboards 1, 5 - `customer_C_role` → dashboards 2, 3, 7 Each customer only sees the dashboards assigned to their role. **If you need to automate this**, you can script it via the REST API — the `PUT /api/v1/dashboard/{id}` endpoint accepts a `roles` field where you pass the role IDs. You're already doing something similar, so it's just a matter of creating granular per-customer roles instead of a single shared one. **No code changes to Superset itself are needed** — this is achievable purely through configuration with `DASHBOARD_RBAC` + per-customer roles + RLS. As @rusackas mentioned, multi-tenancy in open-source Superset is doable but non-trivial. The per-customer role approach works, but managing many roles at scale requires automation (scripting role creation, dashboard-role assignments, and RLS rules). If this becomes burdensome, that's one of the areas where Preset provides more out-of-the-box support. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset).* --- Share context across your team and agents.
