RBAC not Working

[LalaGabor]

Problem: Role Based Access Control is not enabling users to view Dashboards correctly.

Feature flag enabled: RBAC
Browser: Firefox
Superset Version 1.4

Background: I have assigned a user a role AlphaDG (essentially Gamma) and have assigned this role to a dashboard.

Expected outcome: Even though the user has not been assigned access to the underlying dataset(s), this user should be able to see the dashboard.

Actual outcome: The user is not able to see the dashboard (whether published or not)

Perhaps I have not included a necessary permissions flag?

That being said, I have tested user roles who are give all permissions (except datasource access obviously, as this is why I am using RBAC.....)

DASHBOARD_RBAC is the feature flag you enabled right.

I had a similar issue:

User 1 - has access to a dataset via role AlphaCopy (all datasource access is removed)
User 2 - has access to same dataset via role GammaCopy
Dashboard 1 and Dashboard 2 - defined on dataset

Now feature flag is enabled and access is set as follows:
Dashboard 1 - No specific user set, so all users with access to dataset should have access
Dashboard 2 - Only Role AlphaCopy has access to it

Outcome expected: User 1 will have access to Dashboard 1 and Dashboard 2, User 2 will have access to only Dashboard 1
Actual Result: User 1 and User 2 didn't have access to any dashboards

I then gave specific access to Dashboard 1 to role AlphaCopy and GammaCopy. Same result

How exactly is the FEATURE FASHBOARD_RBAC supposed to work?

I can confirm @srinisubramanian's observation. Same for me. I also pulled a fresh image without any modification (apart from the FF) to double check. The FF is not stable! Please investigate.

Ping @amitmiran137 , have you run into this? We're hoping to push out 1.5.1 in 1-2 weeks, so if this feature is currently broken it would be nice to get a fix for this in.

[amitmiran137]

Are you using the DASHBOARD_RBAC ff?

Ehy not use the new UI for editing a dashboard

We use it as one of the core features we use and it does work

Please answer those questions sk we can proceed

[srinisubramanian]

I just tested this again with 1.5.0 and it works. Maybe it was an older version issue?

[villebro]

Thanks @amitmiran137 and @srinisubramanian ! so we're ok closing this with the assumption that upgrading to 1.5 should fix the problem?

[srinisubramanian]

I guess so @villebro as of now the feature flag works after the upgrade to 1.5.0 that I did.

[MM-Lehmann]

Alright, this has become a bit unstructured. I was just picking up on parts of #18634 (comment) but actually my problem is described in #17227
So you might as well close this issue and continue discussion in the other one ;)
Sorry for the mess

Did you set the feature flag or just a variable?

[srinisubramanian]

As mentioned elsewhere it's working good for me. The only catch is I had to give access to users on each dashboard. Default access didn't work.

Did you also run superset init? If not please try that.
