  1. Install CORS dependency using pip install apache-superset[cors] Make Sure you are in Superset Python Environment.

  2. Go to superset config file i.e. superset_config.py and add following code.

        #Feature Flag 
        FEATURE_FLAGS = 
            { 
                "EMBEDDED_SUPERSET": True
            }
        
        # CORS Enabling 
        ENABLE_CORS = True 
        CORS_OPTIONS = 
            { 
                "supports_credentials": True, 
                "allow_headers": "*", 
                "expose_headers": "*", 
                "resources": "*", 
                "origins": ["http://localhost:4200","http://localhost:3000"] //4200 for angular , 3000 for react  
            }
                
        
        # Dashboard embedding 
        GUEST_ROLE_NAME = "Gamma" 
        GUEST_TOKEN_JWT_SECRET = "PASTE_GENERATED_SECRET_HERE" 
        GUEST_TOKEN_JWT_ALGO = "HS256" 
        GUEST_TOKEN_HEADER_NAME = "X-GuestToken" 
        GUEST_TOKEN_JWT_EXP_SECONDS = 300 # 5 minutes

    This will enable feature flag for embedding also cors be enabled with above configuration
