this page describes authentication to db not dashboard, right? Authentication | GreptimeDB Documentation 1. how dashboard authenticates against Greptime DB backend 2. how users are authenticated to dashboard access?

Hi Kevin, the dashboard authentication is completely based on database. Our enterprise version has advanced user/permission management.

The dashboard is a static web app, so you can protect it with basic authorization like that.

the dashboard authentication is completely based on database.

could you clarify? do you mean dashboard is using username + password to authenticate against db? if so, where is that configured or it comes with a default value.

Please read the doc https://docs.greptime.com/user-guide/deployments-administration/authentication/overview/

i did read the doc. but does the doc explain how webapp authenticates against db?

Do you mean the Settings menu? It’s in the bottom-left corner.
