Hey there, @Manish28031999! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions you may have. Let's tackle this together!

The differences in permissions, such as not having "can list on userldapmodelview," could be due to variations in role assignments or custom configurations between your setup and your friend's. Apache Superset manages permissions through roles, and these roles can be customized. It's possible that your friend has been assigned a role with more permissions or that their Superset instance has been configured differently.

Regarding the 'forbidden' response when accessing the /api/v1/security/users/ endpoint, this is likely due to insufficient permissions. You need the appropriate permissions associated with the "User" view menu or related permissions to access this endpoint. Ensure that your user account has the necessary roles and permissions assigned to it ^[1].

To resolve these issues, you can check and compare the roles and permissions assigned to your user account and your friend's account. You can manage and modify these through the Superset UI under the "Security" menu or by using the REST API if enabled ^[2].

The discrepancy in permissions between your Superset instance and your friend's could be due to differences in configuration or initialization. Here are a few possibilities to consider:

1. Initialization Differences: When Superset is initialized using the superset init command, it sets up default roles and permissions. If there were any issues or differences during this initialization process, it might result in missing permissions.

2. Custom Configurations: Check if there are any custom configurations in the superset_config.py file that might affect permissions. For example, the PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE setting can influence the permissions available to certain roles ^[1].

3. Database State: Ensure that both instances are using the same database state. Differences in the underlying database schema or data can lead to discrepancies in available permissions.

4. Version Consistency: Double-check that both instances are indeed running the exact same version of Superset, as even minor version differences can sometimes lead to changes in default permissions.

To resolve this, you might consider re-running the superset init command to ensure that all default roles and permissions are correctly set up. Additionally, compare the superset_config.py files and any other custom scripts or configurations that might be affecting permissions.

@dosu

please give me the solution for this

The extra permissions in your friend's Superset instance could be due to differences in the initialization process or custom configurations. Here are some steps to investigate and resolve this:

1. Check Initialization Scripts: Ensure that both you and your friend used the same initialization script (docker-init.sh) and that there were no modifications or custom scripts that might have added extra permissions.

2. Compare superset_config.py Files: Check if there are any differences in the superset_config.py files between your setup and your friend's. Custom configurations in this file can affect permissions.

3. Database State: Verify that both instances are using the same database state. Differences in the database schema or data can lead to discrepancies in permissions. Ensure that any migrations or updates have been applied consistently.

4. Re-run Initialization: If there are discrepancies, try re-running the superset init command to ensure that all default roles and permissions are correctly set up. This can help synchronize the permissions with the default setup.

5. Check for Custom Roles: Your friend might have custom roles or permissions that were added manually or through a script. Check if there are any custom roles that might have been created.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the differences in permissions between your Superset instance and your friend's.

How to varify the following thing
Database State: Verify that both instances are using the same database state. Differences in the database schema or data can lead to discrepancies in permissions. Ensure that any migrations or updates have been applied consistently.

if there as differenec how to correct that
@dosu

To verify that both Superset instances are using the same database state, you can follow these steps:

1. Check Database Migrations: Ensure that all database migrations have been applied correctly in both instances. You can do this by checking the alembic_version table in your database. This table contains the last applied migration revision ID. If the revision ID matches the latest migration version in both instances, it indicates that your databases are up to date with the latest migrations ^[1].

2. Compare Database Schemas: Use a database comparison tool to compare the schemas of both databases. This will help you identify any discrepancies in tables, columns, or data types.

3. Review Permissions and Roles: Check the roles and permissions in both databases to ensure they match. You can do this by querying the relevant tables in the Superset database that store role and permission information.

If you find discrepancies:

• Apply Missing Migrations: If any migrations are missing, apply them using the superset db upgrade command to bring the database schema up to date ^[2].

• Synchronize Schemas: If there are differences in the schema, manually adjust the schema to match the desired state. This might involve adding missing tables or columns.

• Update Permissions: If there are differences in roles or permissions, you may need to manually adjust them to ensure consistency between the two instances.

By following these steps, you can verify and correct any discrepancies in the database state between the two Superset instances.

Hi @dosu
I have tried everything but nothing is working.Now I I have uninstall whole superset so Now please tell whole step by step to reinstall superset on docker such admin has such permission so that /api/v1/security/users/ api will work.

[dosubot[bot]]

To reinstall Apache Superset on Docker and ensure that the admin has the necessary permissions to access the /api/v1/security/users/ API, follow these steps:

1. Stop and Remove Existing Containers: First, stop and remove any existing Superset Docker containers to ensure a clean installation.

   docker-compose down

2. Remove Existing Volumes: Optionally, remove existing volumes if you want to start with a fresh database.

   docker volume rm <your_superset_volume_name>

3. Rebuild and Start Containers: Rebuild and start the Superset containers.

   docker-compose up --build -d

4. Initialize Superset: Run the initialization script to set up the database, create an admin user, and set up roles and permissions.

   docker exec -it <superset_container_name> /app/docker/docker-init.sh

   This script will:

   • Apply database migrations.
   • Create an admin user with the username admin and a default password (which can be set using the ADMIN_PASSWORD environment variable).
   • Set up default roles and permissions.

5. Verify Admin Permissions: Ensure that the admin user has the necessary permissions. The superset init command in the script sets up roles and permissions, which should include access to the /api/v1/security/users/ API ^[1].

By following these steps, you will reinstall Apache Superset on Docker and ensure that the admin user is properly set up with the necessary permissions.
