# Manage users
|
|
|
|
Grafana offers several options for grouping users. Each level has different tools for managing user accounts and different tasks that they can perform.
|
|
|
|
One of the most important user management tasks is assigning roles, which govern what [permissions]({{< relref "../permissions/_index.md" >}}) a user has. The correct permissions ensure that users have access to only the resources they need.
|
|
|
|
## Server
|
|
|
|
The highest and broadest level of user group in Grafana is the server. Every user with an account in a Grafana instance is a member of the server group.
|
|
|
|
Grafana Server Admins are user accounts that have the Grafana Admin option set to **Yes**. They can manage individual user accounts and organizations on their server.
|
|
|
|
Server Admins can:
|
|
|
|
- [Manage users]({{< relref "server-admin/server-admin-manage-users.md" >}})
|
|
- [Manage organizations]({{< relref "server-admin/server-admin-manage-orgs.md" >}})
|
|
|
|
## Organization
|
|
|
|
Organizations are groups of users on a server. Users can belong to one or more organizations, but each user must belong to at least one organization.
|
|
|
|
Data sources, plugins, and dashboards are associated with organizations. This means that you can have a server with two organizations, one with a Prometheus data source and another with an InfluxDB data source. Each organization has separate data and dashboards.
|
|
|
|
Members of organizations have permissions based on their _role_ in the organization. For more information, refer to [Organization roles]({{< relref "../permissions/organization_roles.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
Organization Admins are user accounts that are assigned the Admin role for an organization. They can manage their users and teams in their organization.
|
|
|
|
Organization Admins can:
|
|
- [Manage users]({{< relref "org-admin/_index.md" >}})
|
|
- [Manage teams]({{< relref "manage-teams/index.md" >}})
|
|
|
|
## Teams
|
|
|
|
Teams are groups of users within the same organization. Teams allow you to grant permissions for a group of users. They are most often used to manage [permissions for folders and dashboards]({{< relref "../permissions/dashboard-folder-permissions.md" >}}). Enterprise users can use them to apply [data source permissions]({{< relref "../enterprise/datasource_permissions.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
Teams are mostly managed by Organization Admins. However, if the Grafana server setting [editors_can_admin]({{< relref "../administration/configuration.md#editors_can_admin" >}}) is applied, then users who are assigned the Team Admin role can also manage teams in their organization and users assigned to their teams.
|
|
|
|
Team Admins can [Manage teams]({{< relref "manage-teams/index.md" >}}).
|
|
|
|
## Users
|
|
|
|
Users are named accounts in Grafana with granted permissions to access resources throughout Grafana. All users can manage their own accounts to a limited extent.
|
|
|
|
Users can:
|
|
- [View and edit user profile]({{< relref "user-admin/user-profile.md" >}})
|
|
- [Change password]({{< relref "user-admin/change-your-password.md" >}})
|
|
- [Switch organizations]({{< relref "user-admin/switch-org.md" >}})
|
|
