# Administration
|
|
|
|
Grafana has two levels of administrators:
|
|
|
|
* Organizational administrators: These admins can manage users within specific organizations in a particular Grafana installation
|
|
* Grafana administrators: These super admins can manage users across all organizations in a Grafana installation. They can also change and access system-wide settings.
|
|
|
|
## Organizational Administrators
|
|
|
|
As an Organizational administrator, you can add `Data Sources`, add Users to your Organization and
|
|
modify Organization details and options.
|
|
|
|
> *Note*: If Grafana is configured with `users.allow_org_create = true`, any User of any Organization will be able to
|
|
> start their own Organization and become the administrator of that Organization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Grafana Administrators

|
|
As a Grafana Administrator, you have complete access to any Organization or User in that instance of Grafana.
|
|
When performing actions as a Grafana admin, the sidebar will change it's appearance as below to indicate you are performing global server administration.
|
|
|
|
From the Grafana Server Admin page, you can access the System Info page which summarizes all of the backend configuration settings of the Grafana server.
|
|
|
|
## Why would I have multiple Organizations?
|
|
|
|
In many cases, a Grafana installation will only have one Organization. There's no need to create multiple Organizations
|
|
if you want all your users to have access to the same set of dashboards and data. In a multitenant deployment,
|
|
Organizations can be used to provide a full Grafana experience to different sets of users from a single Grafana instance,
|
|
at the convenience of the Grafana Administrator.
