Apache Superset (incubating)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Apache Superset (incubating) is a modern, enterprise-ready business
intelligence web application


----------------

.. important::

    **Disclaimer**: Apache Superset is an effort undergoing incubation at The
    Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator.
    Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further
    review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and
    decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with
    other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not
    necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
    the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully
    endorsed by the ASF.

.. note:: Apache Superset, Superset, Apache, the Apache feather logo, and

  providers (database, OpenID, LDAP, OAuth & REMOTE_USER through
  Flask AppBuilder)
- An extensible, high-granularity security/permission model allowing
  intricate rules on who can access individual features and the dataset
- A simple semantic layer, allowing users to control how data sources are
  displayed in the UI by defining which fields should show up in which
  drop-down and which aggregation and function metrics are made available
  to the user
