GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Create role using API
<!-- Answer --> This 404 error happens because, in Superset 4.0, the /api/v1/security/roles/search/ endpoint is not actually exposed as a REST API—even if you set FAB_ADD_SECURITY_API = True and restart. The code for the endpoint exists, but it is not registered with the API system, so requests to it will always return 404. This is a design/implementation omission in 4.0, and there is currently no supported REST API for listing roles in this version, regardless of configuration or flags. If you need to manage roles, you'll have to use the Superset UI or interact directly with the database (which is risky and not officially supported). If you deploy Superset under a custom URL prefix or behind a proxy, make sure your config includes ENABLE_PROXY_FIX = True and APPLICATION_ROOT is set correctly, but this won't resolve the missing endpoint issue—it's a limitation of the release itself. Keep an eye on future Superset releases for a fix or restoration of this API endpoint. If you need automation, you may need to look for community scripts or consider upgrading when a fix is available.
