Grafana User Management

Creating Users

Creating a New User

To create a new user in Grafana, you need to provide a username, email, and password. You can create a user through the Grafana UI or via API. Below is an example of creating a user using the API.

              
              {
  "name": "new_user",
  "email": "newuser@example.com",
  "password": "password123",
  "login": "new_user"
}

Creating a User with Admin Role

You can create a user and assign a role to the user. In this example, we will create a user with the 'Admin' role.

              
              {
  "name": "admin_user",
  "email": "adminuser@example.com",
  "password": "password123",
  "login": "admin_user",
  "role": "Admin"
}

Assigning Roles and Permissions

Assigning Roles to Users

In Grafana, you can assign roles to users that determine their access levels. Below is an example of assigning a 'Viewer' role to a user.

              
              {
  "role": "Viewer",
  "user": "user123"
}

Custom Role Permissions

You can create custom roles with specific permissions in Grafana. Below is an example of a custom role with permissions to view dashboards but not edit them.

              
              {
  "role": "CustomViewer",
  "permissions": {
    "dashboard": "view"
  }
}

Managing User Access

Revoking User Access

You can revoke user access through the Grafana interface. To do so, navigate to the User section and disable or delete the user.

              
              {
  "action": "revoke",
  "user": "user123"
}

Editing User Access

To change a user's permissions or roles, use the API or Grafana interface. Below is an example of editing user access using the API.

              
              {
  "action": "edit",
  "user": "user123",
  "role": "Editor"
}
