<!-- Answer --> The 403 Forbidden errors for admin users in Superset 5.0.0 are usually caused by missing or unsynced permissions, even if you're logged in as "admin". This can happen after upgrades, migrations, or changes to roles. The most effective fix is to run: ```bash superset init ``` This command will resync all roles and permissions, including those needed for admin access. After running it, restart your Superset server to apply the changes. If the errors persist, double-check that your admin user is assigned to the correct admin role (matching `AUTH_ROLE_ADMIN` in your config), and that there are no custom security manager overrides or config differences affecting permissions. Also, make sure the admin role has global permissions like `all_database_access` and `all_datasource_access`—these are required for full API access, not just granular permissions. [Reference](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/34467) Postgres is not deprecated as a metadata database in Superset 5.0.0. Issues with database upgrades are typically due to incomplete migrations or schema mismatches. For example, missing columns like `catalog_perm` can break permission syncing and cause 403 errors. Always use official migration scripts and check that your Alembic migration history matches the expected state for your Superset version. Run: ```bash superset db upgrade ``` to apply any pending migrations. [Reference](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/32846#issuecomment-2751980034) There isn't official documentation dedicated to metadata management in Superset, but you can manage roles and permissions in the UI under Settings > Roles, and use import/export commands for dashboards and datasources. If you need to switch metadata backends (e.g., to Postgres), start with a fresh database, run migrations, and import your data using Superset's import/export features. [Reference](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/36236) If you have custom SSO or role mapping, make sure roles are correctly assigned in the backend database, not just in the session, as improper mapping can also cause silent 403 errors. [Reference](https://github.com/apache/superset/discussions/32299) Let me know if you need help checking specific permissions or troubleshooting migration issues! <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot).* --- <sup>How did I do?
