--------------------------------
Closed AIRFLOW-1433 as dupe since the FAB work will directly fix the issue
here.
> Create DAGs UI
> --------------
>
> Key: AIRFLOW-85
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRFLOW-85
> Project: Apache Airflow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security, ui
> Reporter: Chris Riccomini
> Assignee: Joy Gao
> Priority: Major
>
> Airflow currently provides only an {{/admin}} UI interface for the webapp.
> This UI provides three distinct roles:
> * Admin
> * Data profiler
> * None
> In addition, Airflow currently provides the ability to log in, either via a
> secure proxy front-end, or via LDAP/Kerberos, within the webapp.
> We run Airflow with LDAP authentication enabled. This helps us control access
> to the UI. However, there is insufficient granularity within the UI. We would
> like to be able to grant users the ability to:
> # View their DAGs, but no one else's.
> # Control their DAGs, but no one else's.
> This is not possible right now. You can take away the ability to access the
> connections and data profiling tabs, but users can still see all DAGs, as
> well as control the state of the DB by clearing any DAG status, etc.
>
> From Airflow-1443:
> The authentication capabilities in the RBAC design proposal introduces a
> significant amount of work that is otherwise already built-in in existing
> frameworks.
> Per community discussion, Flask-AppBuilder (FAB) is the best fit for Airflow
> as a foundation to implementing RBAC. This will support integration with
> different authentication backends out-of-the-box, and generate permissions
> for views and ORM models that will simplify view-level and dag-level access
> control.
> This implies modifying the current flask views, and deprecating the current
> Flask-Admin in favor of FAB's crud.
