SSO Settings API

If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you’ll need to have specific permissions. Refer to Role-based access control permissions for more information.

Note

Available since Grafana 11. SAML support is in public preview behind the ssoSettingsSAML feature flag.

The API can be used to create, update, delete, get, and list SSO Settings for OAuth2 and SAML.

The settings managed by this API are stored in the database and override settings from other sources (arguments, environment variables, settings file, etc). Therefore, every time settings for a specific provider are removed or reset to the default settings at runtime, the settings are inherited from the other sources in the reverse order of precedence (arguments > environment variables > settings file).

List SSO Settings

GET /api/v1/sso-settings

Lists the SSO Settings for all providers.

The providers or SSO keys that are not managed by this API are retrieved from the other sources (settings file, environment variables, default values).

Required permissions

See note in the introduction for an explanation.

Update SSO Settings

PUT /api/v1/sso-settings/:provider

Updates the SSO Settings for a provider.

When you submit new settings for a provider via API, Grafana verifies whether the given settings are allowed and valid. If they are, then Grafana stores the settings in the database and reloads Grafana services with no need to restart the instance.

Note

If you run Grafana in high availability mode, configuration changes may not get applied to all Grafana instances immediately. You may need to wait a few minutes for the configuration to propagate to all Grafana instances.
