Overview

A base represents your database connection. Within a base you can view and interact with the data available via the database connection. You can save queries to your base, build out dashboards, commands, your data catalog and much, much more.

Create a base

Follow our Get Started guide for learning how to work within your base, or learn more about managing your base below.

Member access

Be default, all members of your workspace will have access to all bases.

Further scoping access

We are working on introducing role based access controls, but until that is available it's important to understand that bases inheret the level of access from the connection details you provide. Choose your access level wisely. Learn more about access roles
