Hello,
My team is considering using Metabase (We will self-host the Metabase app on our cloud environment using docker image) to query through data but we have to convince the tech lead and manager that Metabase is safe because we will be querying confidential data as well.
So i want to ask the below.
-
Is my understanding correct that users on Metabase cannot execute update, delete, insert statements using the SQL editor or modify the data from the UI? I am assuming users cannot modify data from Metabase but i want to confirm just in case.
-
Are there a significant number of clients who use Metabase to query their confidential data? If yes, can you tell me the brief number of clients who use Metabase to query their confidential data (If possible) so we can provide the statistics to our tech lead and manager?
-
Is there anything in particular we should be aware of if we are going to use Metabase to query confidential data? (The only thing i was worried about was that the http query request/response was not encrypted but we will make Metabase only accessible through VPN so there should be no problem)
