Configure RBAC options in Grafana

Note

Available in Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud.

The table below describes the available RBAC configuration options for your Grafana stack. 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

Example RBAC configuration

Bash
