## Use it in a design

```yaml
nodes:
  - { id: "superset", component: "superset" }
```

## Source (`component` YAML, verbatim)

```yaml
# yaml-language-server: $schema=../../schema/component.schema.json
# Apache Superset: open-source data exploration and dashboarding platform.
# "Security Configurations": the Public role is only used once AUTH_ROLE_PUBLIC is configured
# and what it may see is decided by PUBLIC_ROLE_LIKE, and row-level security filters exist only
# where an admin creates them. "Configuring Superset": the metadata database defaults to SQLite
# and async execution via Celery is optional.
