Superset does not discover schemas directly from the database connection [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py#L1070-L1074). **To make `schema_access` permissions appear:** 1. Go to **Datasets → + Dataset** and register at least one table/dataset from the schema you want to restrict access to. The `schema_access` permission is automatically created when the dataset is saved [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py#L1584-L1667). 2. After that, go back to **Security → List Roles**, edit your custom role, and search for `schema_access` — you should now see entries like `schema_access on [YourDatabase].[YourSchema]`. If you'd rather grant access to the **entire database** instead of a specific schema, you can use `database_access` permissions instead — those are created automatically for every database connection and should already be available in the dropdown. Just search for `database_access on [YourDatabase]`. **One more thing to watch out for on v6.1.0:** there's a [known bug](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/42041) where schema names containing underscores are displayed with spaces in the role editor, which can make them hard to find when searching [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/42041). If your schema name has underscores, try searching with spaces instead. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Docs are dead.
