Configure RBAC in Grafana

NOTE: Available in Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud.

The table below describes all RBAC configuration options. Like any other Grafana configuration, you can apply these options as environment variables.

Setting Required Description Default

permission_cache

No

Enable to use in memory cache for loading and evaluating users’ permissions.

true

permission_validation_enabled

No

Grafana enforces validation for permissions when a user creates or updates a role. The system checks the internal list of scopes and actions for each permission to determine they are valid. By default, if a scope or action is not recognized, Grafana logs a warning message. When set to true, Grafana returns an error.

true

reset_basic_roles

No

Reset Grafana’s basic roles’ (Viewer, Editor, Admin, Grafana Admin) permissions to their default. Warning, if this configuration option is left to true this will be done on every reboot.

true
