Basedash Access Controls

Overview / Description

Basedash Access Controls is a feature of Basedash, an AI business-intelligence tool that lets teams explore data and build visual reports without writing SQL. The access-controls release adds groups and granular permissions so organizations can bundle users — internal teams, external clients, leadership — and grant each group access to exactly the data sources, dashboards, chats, automations, and MCP servers it should see. Each group can also be given its own AI context, so the built-in assistant answers differently depending on the audience, and row-level security applies to every question asked. Underneath, Basedash connects to 750+ data sources, offers an AI data analyst that generates answers, charts, and recommendations, a semantic layer for reusable SQL metric definitions, scheduled AI automations, and an MCP server for connecting external AI clients to your data. The access-controls layer is aimed at organizations that need to expose the same warehouse to different internal and external audiences while keeping each group scoped to the right data. If you are comparing AI BI tools on governance, the differentiator here is per-group AI context plus row-level security enforced on every AI query.
