Aspects Reports (embedded Superset dashboards): internal authentication error for staff and superusers

[pkolyvas]

Issue

I followed the instructions on a bone-stock 17.0.6 tutor install (due to two different bugs in 18.0 - 18.1.3). My installation is scripted and parameterized here, so it was easy to get to a repeatable, stock install.

As per my thread here there is an internal authentication error when an educator or staff member tries to view the embedded reports dashboards on the LMS Instructor Reports tab.

Affected versions

I've run tutor 17.0.6 and every version of 18 from 18.0.0 to 18.1.3. The issue persists across all versions.

Expected behaviour

Pretty straightforward here. Following the instructions for installation should result in the reports (embedded superset dashboards) loading.

Additional details

• Ubuntu 24.04 Server
• amd64 arch
• No additional customization

Originally I was worried that installing aspects before tutor had be launched the first time was causing the issue, so I experiment with installing it both during initial config and after tutor had been running with courses and users for a bit, however the authentication issue persists irrespective of the order in which it's installed.

Hi @pkolyvas, can you leave the following information:

• Configured dashboard locales: tutor config printvalue SUPERSET_DASHBOARD_LOCALES
• Logs related to platform-plugin-aspects when you load the Aspects instructor tab.
• Check in the requests what's returned for the guest token URL, you should see something similar to this:
