Metabase features

Metabase governance and administration features buyers weigh when choosing between open source and paid self-hosted plans.

Metabase row and column security

Showing each group or customer only their rows and columns with Metabase row and column security (formerly data sandboxing): attribute-based row filters versus custom SQL views, and multi-tenant use.

Metabase impersonation with database roles

Delegating Metabase data permissions to roles defined in PostgreSQL, Snowflake, SQL Server and other databases, so database row-level security applies to both SQL and query builder questions.

Metabase serialization between environments

Exporting Metabase content as YAML and importing it into other instances for staging to production promotion, version control or regional copies, with the CLI and API options and what is not carried across.

Metabase remote sync with Git

Running a dev-to-production analytics workflow with Metabase Remote Sync: building content in a read-write instance, reviewing it in Git pull requests, and letting a read-only production instance pull changes.
