SSO Settings UI and Terraform resource for configuring OAuth providers

Configuring OAuth providers was a bit cumbersome in Grafana: Grafana Cloud users had to reach out to Grafana Support, self-hosted users had to manually edit the configuration file, set up environment variables, and then they had to restart Grafana. On Cloud, the Advanced Auth page is there to configure some of the providers, but configuring Generic OAuth hasn’t been available until now and there was no way to manage the settings through the Grafana UI, nor was there a way to manage the settings through Terraform or the Grafana API.

Our goal is to make setting up SSO for your Grafana instance simple and fast.

To get there, we are introducing easier self-serve configuration options for OAuth in Grafana. All of the currently supported OAuth providers are now available for configuration through the Grafana UI, Terraform and via the API. From the UI, you can also now manage all of the settings for the Generic OAuth provider.

We are working on adding complete support for configuring all other supported OAuth providers as well, such as GitHub, GitLab, Google, Microsoft Azure AD and Okta. You can already manage some of these settings via the new self-serve configuration options, and we’re working on adding more at the moment.
