Superset separates **edit access** from **use/query access** into two independent dimensions: **1. Restricting edits to Team A only:** - Add Team A members as **owners** of the datasets they create. Admins and owners bypass access checks and can edit the dataset [[1]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/68920020-13a9-41cb-a578-aaea4405b0b5). - Ensure Team A's role includes `can_write` on the `Dataset` resource, which is the FAB permission governing dataset CRUD operations (create, edit, delete) [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/migrations/versions/2020-12-10_15-05_45731db65d9c_security_converge_datasets.py). - **Do not** add members of other teams as dataset owners. Without ownership (and without Admin role), they will not be able to edit those datasets. **2. Allowing other teams to use the datasets for charts/dashboards:** - Each dataset automatically gets an object-specific `datasource_access` permission (e.g., `[my_database].[my_table](id:123)`) when it is created [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py). - Create a custom role for the other teams and grant the relevant `datasource_access` permissions for the datasets they need to consume [[4]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/59b6e1d7-314d-42cc-8064-c4f93c7103bd). This gives them query/read access without edit rights. - Alternatively, granting `all_datasource_access` or `database_access` / `schema_access` at a broader scope will let them use all datasets under that database or schema. **In short:** make Team A the owners with `can_write` on Dataset, and give other teams only `datasource_access` on the specific datasets (or broader database/schema access). The two permission types are independent — having `datasource_access` does **not** grant edit ability [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py). Note that `datasource_access` permissions are never assigned to built-in roles (Admin/Alpha/Gamma) automatically — they must be managed through custom roles [[4]](https://app.dosu.dev/a28d3c7e-a9d3-459e-9fb6-3a6f9ff4f357/documents/59b6e1d7-314d-42cc-8064-c4f93c7103bd). Would you like more detail on how to set up the custom roles or assign `datasource_access` permissions in practice? <!-- 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.
