Administer hosted Grafana in your Grafana Cloud Stack

Hosted Grafana administrators can use the Administration pages in their Grafana instance to back up Grafana, manage data sources, organizations, teams, users, roles, permissions, and more.

The Grafana Administration documentation has information about the Administration features within Grafana.

Control capabilities using feature toggles

Feature toggles provide a mechanism for letting Grafana administrators activate or deactivate select features withing Grafana. Some of these features may be under development, such as an experimental feature, or generally available.

Refer to the Configure feature toggles documentation for a list of toggles.

Contact the Support team to enable feature toggles for your Grafana Cloud environment by opening a ticket from your account portal.

Control access to apps and data sources

Your Grafana Cloud stack comes pre-configured with various services offered by Grafana Labs. Administrators can limit access to these services using RBAC for app plugins. To do this, you need the app IDs. The following list has the IDs for all pre-configured apps:

grafana-irm-app
grafana-ml-app
k6-app

Note
You cannot remove or disable the applications that provide these services.

Additionally, default data source instances are configured for use with telemetry databases such as Grafana Cloud Metrics. You cannot delete these or modify their connection configuration using the UI. However, you can use data source permissions to control which users can query data with them.
