Closes DOCS-1387 ## Problem The Postgres roles guide describes `dashboard_user` as "For running commands via the Supabase UI." That was the original intent, not current behavior. Dashboard queries run as `postgres` and carry a `-- source: dashboard` comment, which the [Postgres logs troubleshooting guide](https://supabase.com/docs/guides/troubleshooting/how-to-interpret-and-explore-the-postgres-logs-OuCIOj) already documents. The two pages contradict each other. Two smaller problems in the same list: - `supabase_storage_admin` is described as an Auth middleware role, copied from the `supabase_auth_admin` entry above it. - Studio ships both stale strings in its own role tooltips. The docs list and `QUERY_PERFORMANCE_ROLE_DESCRIPTION` are near-verbatim copies of each other. ## Solution - Replace the `dashboard_user` description with what the Dashboard connects as instead, and point readers to the `-- source: dashboard` comment for finding Dashboard queries in the logs. - Attribute `supabase_storage_admin` to the Storage middleware. - Apply both corrections to the Query Performance and Query Insights role tooltips. ## Manual testing 1. Open the [roles guide on the deploy preview](https://docs-git-docs-dashboard-user-role-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/postgres/roles). 2. Scroll to `dashboard_user`. It states that the Dashboard doesn't connect as the role, and that Dashboard queries execute as `postgres` with a `-- source: dashboard` comment. 3. Select **find them in the Postgres logs**. The Postgres logs troubleshooting guide loads. 4. Scroll to `supabase_storage_admin`. It reads "Used by the Storage middleware," not "Auth middleware." 5. In Studio, open **Observability > Query Performance** and hover a `dashboard_user` or `supabase_storage_admin` value in the **Role** column. The tooltip shows the same two corrected descriptions. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Documentation** - Corrected the description of the `supabase_storage_admin` role to reference Storage middleware. - Clarified that the Dashboard does not connect using the `dashboard_user` role. - Documented that Dashboard queries run as `postgres` and can be identified in Postgres logs with a `source: dashboard` comment. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
