Logging In to an Application

Introduction to Supabase Dashboard

You can log in to an application using a browser and access Dashboard of a Supabase AI application. Supabase Dashboard is a web-based, full-stack backend management platform that allows you to manage all backend services, such as databases, authentications, storage, and functions, without writing code.

The core design concept of Dashboard is to replace manual SQL writing with UI-based operations while retaining the full support for direct SQL execution, making it efficient for both beginners and advanced users.
More than just a management backend, it serves as a backend-as-a-service (BaaS) control center.
- For independent developers: Enables a single developer to manage a full-stack project.
- For small teams: Eliminates the need for backend O&M personnel, allowing them to focus on business logic.
- For large teams: Standardizes backend management processes and unifies permissions control and auditing.

Prerequisites

You have registered a Huawei ID and enabled Huawei Cloud services.
You can create an IAM user and user group on the IAM console and grant the user specific operation permissions, to perform refined management on Huawei Cloud. For details, see Using IAM Roles or Policies to Grant Access to RDS.
You must use a login account assigned the rds:aiApplication:list action.
The AI application and the hosted instance are running properly. Otherwise, login will be unavailable and even the features after login cannot be used.

Login Methods

You can log in to a Supabase AI application using either of the following methods based on your network conditions:

Intranet login
You must ensure network connectivity between your browser client IP address and the application's private IP address. It is recommended that the client IP address belongs to the same subnet within the same VPC as the application.
Public network login
You must purchase a public NAT gateway and an EIP, bind them to the application's VPC and subnet, and associate the application's private IP address in a DNAT rule.

Precautions

Note the following when using public network login:

You must configure security group rules and enable specific IP addresses and ports to access the DB instance. Before accessing the DB instance, add an individual IP address or an IP address range that will access the instance to the inbound rule. For details, see Configuring a Security Group Rule.
You need to pay for the NAT Gateway and EIP services separately. For details about their pricing, see NAT Gateway Pricing Details and EIP Pricing Details.
Use NAT Gateway to map different ports of the same EIP to different instances. If you cannot access the instance after the gateway address is bound, troubleshoot the fault by referring to What Can I Do If the Connection Between My Servers and the Internet Fails After a NAT Gateway Is Configured?

Constraints

The IP address of the browser client must be able to reach the application network. Otherwise, the application cannot be accessed.
If SSL is enabled for the application, download and install the SSL certificate before accessing the application interface. Switch the URL prefix from http:// to https://.
