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 -->
Supabase Studio
A dashboard for managing your self-hosted Supabase project, and used on our hosted platform. Built with:
What's included
Studio is designed to work with existing deployments - either the local hosted, docker setup, or our CLI. It is not intended for managing the deployment and administration of projects - that's out of scope.
As such, the features exposed on Studio for existing deployments are limited to those which manage your database:
- Table & SQL editors
- Saved queries are unavailable
- Database management
- Policies, roles, extensions, replication
- API documentation
Managing Project Settings
Project settings are managed outside of the Dashboard. If you use docker compose, you should manage the settings in your docker-compose file. If you're deploying Supabase to your own cloud, you should store your secrets and env vars in a vault or secrets manager.
How to contribute?
- Branch from
masterand name your branches with the following structure{type}/{branch_name}- Type:
chore | fix | feature - The branch name is arbitrary — just make sure it summarizes the work.
- Type:
- When you send a PR to
master, it will automatically tag members of the frontend team for review. - Review the main contributing guide to help test your feature before sending a PR.
- The Dashboard is under active development. You should run
git pullfrequently to make sure you're up to date.
Developer Quickstart
Note
Supabase internal use: To develop on Studio locally with the backend services, see the instructions in the internal
infrastructurerepo.
# You'll need to be on Node v22
# in /studio
## For external contributors
pnpm install # install dependencies
pnpm run dev # start dev server
## For internal contributors
## First clone the private supabase/platform repo and follow instructions for setting up mise
mise studio # Run from supabase/platform alongside `mise infra`
## For all
pnpm run test # run tests
pnpm run test -- --watch # run tests in watch mode
Running within a self-hosted environment
Follow the self-hosting guide to get started.
cd ..
cd docker
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml -f ./dev/docker-compose.dev.yml up
Once you've got that set up, update .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.
POSTGRES_PASSWORD=
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEY=
Then run the following commands to install dependencies and start the dashboard.
npm install
npm run dev
If you would like to configure different defaults for "Default Organization" and "Default Project", you will need to update the .env in the studio folder with the corresponding values.
DEFAULT_ORGANIZATION_NAME=
DEFAULT_PROJECT_NAME=
