Airflow basic authentication hides Admin -menu options

I enabled basic authentication in Airflow, but now I can't see most of the Admin -menu items. For example I can't create connections using the UI.

I'm using apache-airflow 1.10.2 and in the config I set:

authenticate = True

auth_backend = airflow.contrib.auth.backends.password_auth

When creating a new user: You can follow the directions here. Then you should also make the user a "superuser".

# after user.password = 'set_the_password'
>>> user.superuser = True
...

If you already created the user you can change it this way:

$ python
>>> import airflow
>>> from airflow import models, settings
>>> from airflow.contrib.auth.backends.password_auth import PasswordUser
>>> session = settings.Session()
>>> user = session.query(models.User).filter(models.User.username == {{ username you previously created }}).first()
>>> user.superuser = True
>>> session.add(user)
>>> session.commit()
>>> session.close()
>>> exit()

To access the admin functions the user must be in the Admin role. You can create an admin user with the Airflow CLI:

airflow create_user -r Admin -u myadmin -p secret_password
