Introducing granular permissions in Basedash

Today we’re launching granular permissions for Basedash Enterprise. Admins can now choose who else gets to do eight kinds of workspace work, without making anyone an admin.

The people who keep a workspace in shape, curating models, writing AI context, and connecting data sources, usually had to be admins to do that work. Admin also meant billing, member roles, and everything else. Now you can hand out the work and keep the admin role where it is.

Eight permissions, one Settings page

Granular permissions live on a new Settings → Permissions page that only admins can open. It lists eight permissions:

• Create and edit models
• Verify models
• Verify dashboards
• Manage organization-wide context
• Manage data source context
• Add and configure data sources
• Manage groups
• Invite members

Verify dashboards covers last week’s verified dashboards, so your data team can vouch for the numbers without being admins.

Grant a permission to a group

Open a permission to choose who holds it besides admins. You can turn it on for all members with one switch, or add specific groups or specific members.

Admins keep the rest

Granular permissions have firm limits:

• Admins always keep every permission.
• View-only members never get one.
• Billing, member roles, SSO, and SCIM stay admin-only.
• Every change is in the audit log. Each update or reset is recorded.

Nothing changes until you change it

Every permission starts on today’s defaults, so nothing changes for your team until an admin configures it. Change only the permissions you want, and use Reset to default to put any one of them back.

Getting started

Granular permissions are available today on Basedash Enterprise.

1. Log in to Basedash as an admin
2. Open Settings → Permissions
3. Pick a permission and grant it to all members, a group, or specific members

Share the work. Not the admin role.
