Fine-grained access control API

Fine-grained access control API is only available in Grafana Enterprise. Read more about [Grafana Enterprise]({{< relref "../enterprise" >}}).

The API can be used to create, update, get and list roles, and create or remove built-in role assignments. To use the API, you would need to [enable fine-grained access control]({{< relref "../enterprise/access-control/_index.md#enable-fine-grained-access-control" >}}).

The API does not currently work with an API Token. So in order to use these API endpoints you will have to use [Basic auth]({{< relref "./auth/#basic-auth" >}}).

Create a new custom role

POST /api/access-control/roles

Creates a new custom role and maps given permissions to that role. Note that roles with the same prefix as [Fixed Roles]({{< relref "../enterprise/access-control/roles.md" >}}) can't be created.

Required permissions

permission:delegate scope ensures that users can only create custom roles with the same, or a subset of permissions which the user has. For example, if a user does not have required permissions for creating users, they won't be able to create a custom role which allows to do that. This is done to prevent escalation of privileges.

permission:delegate scope ensures that users can only unassign roles which have same, or a subset of permissions which the user has. For example, if a user does not have the permissions required to create users, they won't be able to assign a role that contains these permissions. This is done to prevent escalation of privileges.```
