just add rbac = True to airflow.cfg, and you are good to go. Now all you need to is restart your airflow webserver. And in case if you want to add a new user. You can use this command,

 airflow create_user -r Admin -u admin -f Ashish -l malgawa -p test123 -e ashishmalgawa@gmail.com

“-r” is the role we want for the user “-u” is the username “-f” is the first name “-l” is the last name “-e” is the email id “-p” is the password
