mistercrunch opened a new pull request #8197: chore: deprecate restricted metrics URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/8197 An early community contribution added the concept of restricted metrics. The idea was to allow for some metrics to be restricted, and if a metric was tagged as such, a user would need to be given access to that metric more explicitely, through a special perm we would maintain for that metric. Now since the new concept of "Adhoc Metrics", the popover that lets a user pick a column and an aggregate function or to write their own SQL expression inline, this restriction is completely bypassed. Adhoc metrics was developed without the restricted metrics in mind. Anyhow, in the near future, we'll be rethinking the ideas behind data-access permissions, and things like column-level or row-level security will be redesigned from scratch. By deprecating this feature, we're removing a confusing and mostly broken feature, and making it easy to move forward
