RBAC UI has been merged into Apache-Airflow master, and will be released with Airflow 1.10.0. I will no longer be maintaining this repo. If you are interested in using the RBAC feature, see the New Webserver UI with Role-Based Access Control section in UPDATING.md for instructions.
Airflow Webserver uses the Flask-AppBuilder (FAB) extension instead of Flask-Admin. The goal of this Airflow Webserver is to leverage FAB's build-in security features to introduce the following capabilities in the UI:
- role-based access control
- support for various authentications backends (OAuth, OpenID, Database, LDAP, etc.)
- dag-level permissions
Airflow-Webserver will be merged back into Airflow's source code in the near future. Contributions are welcome!
Airflow-Webserver is written on top of Airflow 1.9.0, which is not currently in PyPI. Make sure you have airflow 1.9.0+ installed before attempting the setup below.
-
Clone the repo
`git clone [email protected]:wepay/airflow-webserver.git` `cd airflow-webserver` -

To start the webserver
