   @Minyus I just want to clarify some things. The same [Security](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/stable/security.html) documentation page explains both the `auth_backend` under [api] (which as of 1.10.11 defaults to `airflow.api.auth.backend.deny_all`) and the `auth_backend` under [webserver] (which does not seem to be included in the default config, I assume because by default `authenticate` is `False`). That part is misleading, but I am sure that both settings do different things.
   
   Setting your API `auth_backend` won't also set your webserver `auth_backend`, and vice-versa.
   
   And not describing `auth_backend` under "webserver" on the [Configuration reference](https://airflow.apache.org/docs/stable/configurations-ref.html) page is confusing things.
