Accessing `flask.g` in SQL Lab (in async mode) is tricky because the execution is run on a celery worker where there's no Flask context. I think we've done work before to make "current_username" available across the board (async/not async). http://superset.apache.org/sqllab.html#superset.jinja_context.current_username
We're also looking to move towards more of an async execution model across the board as detailed here: https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/issues/9190. It'd be nice to have access to some current user-related object in Jinja templates in the async world too, and have some way to add user attributes (things like team, department, ...) to that user objects so that they can be referenced in that context. Clearly there are considerations around caching, security and privacy in that area. I'm curious as to what you're trying to accomplish, is it some sort of row-level-security thing? We merge a RLS feature recently, wondering if that may work for you. https://github.com/apache/incubator-superset/pull/8699 Max On Tue, Apr 7, 2020 at 2:22 PM Dennis Meyer <den...@jdeluxe.org> wrote: > Hi, > > We encountered an issue with RC3 on Table search boxes.
