# Dashboard Folders
|
|
|
|
Folders are a way to organize and group dashboards - very useful if you have a lot of dashboards or multiple teams using the same Grafana instance.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:** Only Grafana Admins and Super Admins can create, edit, or delete folders. Refer to [Organization roles]({{< relref "../permissions/organization_roles.md" >}}) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## How To Create A Folder
|
|
|
|
- Create a folder by using the Create Folder link in the side menu (under the create menu (+ icon))
|
|
- Use the create Folder button on the Manage Dashboards page.
|
|
- When saving a dashboard, you can either choose a folder for the dashboard to be saved in or create a new folder
|
|
|
|
On the Create Folder page, fill in a unique name for the folder and then click Create.
|
|
|
|
## Manage Dashboards
|

|
|
|
|
There is a new Manage Dashboards page where you can carry out a variety of tasks:
|
|
|
|
- create a folder
|
|
- create a dashboard
|
|
- move dashboards into folders
|
|
- delete multiple dashboards
|
|
- navigate to a folder page (where you can set permissions for a folder and/or its dashboards)
|
|
|
|
## Dashboard Folder Page
|
|
|
|
You reach the dashboard folder page by clicking on the cog icon that appears when you hover
|
|
over a folder in the dashboard list in the search result or on the Manage dashboards page.
|
|
|
|
The Dashboard Folder Page is similar to the Manage Dashboards page and is where you can carry out the following tasks:
|
|
|
|
- Allows you to move or delete dashboards in a folder.
|
|
- Rename a folder (under the Settings tab).
|
|
- Set permissions for the folder (inherited by dashboards in the folder).
|
|
|
|
## Permissions
|
|
|
|
Permissions can be assigned to a folder and inherited by the containing dashboards. An Access Control List (ACL) is used where
|
|
**Organization Role**, **Team** and Individual **User** can be assigned permissions. Read the
|
|
[Dashboard and Folder Permissions]({{< relref "../permissions/dashboard-folder-permissions.md" >}}) docs for more detail
|
|
on the permission system.
