-1. Log into Keycloak as the user `admin` (in the master realm) and create a user called `admin` in the demo realm.
-2. Use that to log into Superset with the `Admin` role.
-3. Optional: Add Database connection
-4. Add admin user in Keycloak to all relevant groups (so that he has access to the tables, so he can create datasets, charts and dashboards).
-5. `pgdump` the Postgres and update the dump in Git. For that shell into `postgresql-superset-0` and execute

+=== Superset role assignment via OPA
+
+Which dashboards a user can see in Superset is determined by Superset roles.
+Instead of assigning these roles manually, Superset asks OPA for the roles of a user at every login (configured via `roleMappingFromOpa` on the SupersetCluster).
+OPA derives the roles from the Keycloak group memberships using the user-info-fetcher - the same group lookup the Trino rules are based on.
+The mapping is defined in the {superset-regorules}[superset-regorules ConfigMap]:
+
+* Every user gets the `Gamma` and `sql_lab` roles, granting access to the Superset UI including SQL Lab.
+* Members of a department additionally get the role granting access to the datasets of their department, e.g. members of `/Customer Service/Analytics` get the `Customer Service Analytics` role and with it the `Customer analytics` dashboard.
+* The `admin` user is assigned the Superset `Admin` role, so Superset can be administered via Single Sign On as well.
+
+You can try this out by logging in to Superset as `pamela.scott` (Customer Analytics) and `william.lewis` (Compliance Analytics) and comparing the dashboards each of them sees.
+Adding a user to a department group in Keycloak is all that is needed: on the next login, the user is assigned the matching Superset roles automatically.
+
+Note that the Superset roles only control which dashboards and datasets are visible.
+The data shown in the charts is still protected by Trino and OPA, because Superset impersonates the logged-in user when querying Trino.
+Also note that role assignments made in the Superset UI are overwritten on the next login of the affected user - the Rego rules are the single source of truth.
+
 === Open Policy Agent for the utmost flexibility in building access rules
 
 Some examples of access rules you can define for the Open Policy Agent authorization mechanism were already shown in the <<column-row-filtering, Column- and row-level filtering section>>.
