Illustrative workflow

02 / Get connected

Set up once. Keep asking.

  1. Connect your database

    Enter its connection details and configure the network access your setup needs.

  2. Check the tables

    Let Supaboard discover the schema, then confirm the tables you expect are available.

  3. Set up the agent

    An agent is the AI analyst set up for your team’s data. Choose which tables it can use and who can use it, then ask a simple question to check the connection.

Before you start.Ask your database administrator for credentials with read-only permissions and an approved network route. SSL, SSH and VPN options depend on the connector. Read the setup guide

03 / Set the boundaries

Choose what the
agent can read.

Supaboard connects as the account you provide. Use an account with only the read permissions needed for the analysis.

Then scope the agent to the relevant sources and tables, and choose who can use it.

How agents work
Control the account, the tables and the people
  1. Database account

    Grant access only to the data you intend to share.

  2. Agent scope

    Choose which of those tables the agent can use.

  3. People

    Choose who can use that agent in Supaboard.

Queries are checked for write operations before they run. Source permissions provide an additional boundary.

A few practical details

Common questions

Does Supaboard change the data in my database?

Database and warehouse queries are read-only. We also recommend connecting with a database user that has read-only permissions.

Do I need to copy my database into Supaboard?

No full replica is needed for a direct connection. Queries run against your database. Returned results are saved with the conversation, so some data is stored in Supaboard as part of the analysis.

Will queries use my database’s resources?

Yes. Direct queries run on your database. Your database administrator can help choose the appropriate account and endpoint for the workload.

Can I connect a database on a private network?

Network options vary by connector. Check the setup guide for IP allowlisting, SSL, SSH tunnel or IPsec VPN support. Read the connection guide
