# Permissions Overview
|
|
|
|
Grafana users have permissions that are determined by their:
|
|
|
|
- **Organization Role** (Admin, Editor, Viewer)
|
|
- Via **Team** memberships where the **Team** has been assigned specific permissions.
|
|
- Via permissions assigned directly to user (on folders, dashboards, data sources)
|
|
- The Grafana Admin (i.e. Super Admin) user flag.
|
|
|
|
## Users
|
|
|
|
Grafana supports a wide variety of internal and external ways for users to authenticate themselves. These include from its own integrated database, from an external SQL server, or from an external LDAP server.
|
|
|
|
## Grafana Admin
|
|
|
|
This admin flag makes user a `Super Admin`. This means they can access the `Server Admin` views where all users and organizations can be administrated.
|
|
|
|
## Organization Roles
|
|
|
|
Users can belong to one or more organizations. A user's organization membership is tied to a role that defines what the user is allowed to do
|
|
in that organization. Grafana supports multiple *organizations* in order to support a wide variety of deployment models, including using a single Grafana instance to provide service to multiple potentially untrusted organizations.
|
|
|
|
In most cases, Grafana is deployed with a single organization.
|
|
|
|
Each organization can have one or more data sources.
|
|
|
|
All dashboards are owned by a particular organization.
|
|
|
|
> Note: Most metric databases do not provide per-user series authentication. This means that organization data sources and dashboards are available to all users in a particular organization.
|
|
|
|
Refer to [Organization roles]({{< relref "../permissions/organization_roles.md" >}}) for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Dashboard and Folder Permissions
|
|
|
|
Dashboard and folder permissions allow you to remove the default role based permissions for Editors and Viewers and assign permissions to specific **Users** and **Teams**. Learn more about [Dashboard and Folder Permissions]({{< relref "dashboard_folder_permissions.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Data source permissions
|
|
|
|
Per default, a data source in an organization can be queried by any user in that organization. For example a user with `Viewer` role can still
|
|
issue any possible query to a data source, not just those queries that exist on dashboards he/she has access to.
|
|
|
|
Data source permissions allows you to change the default permissions for data sources and restrict query permissions to specific **Users** and **Teams**. Read more about [data source permissions]({{< relref "../enterprise/datasource_permissions.md" >}}).
