Role-based access control API is only available in Grafana Cloud or Grafana Enterprise. Read more about Grafana Enterprise.

To check which basic or fixed roles have the required permissions, refer to RBAC role definitions.

Create a new custom role

POST /api/access-control/roles

Creates a new custom role and maps given permissions to that role. Note that roles with the same prefix as Fixed roles can’t be created.

Required permissions

permissions:type:delegate scope ensures that users can only create custom roles with the same, or a subset of permissions which the user has. For example, if a user does not have required permissions for creating users, they won’t be able to create a custom role which allows to do that. This is done to prevent escalation of privileges.

Create role validation errors

Permission validation only occurs when permission validation is enabled (rbac.permission_validation_enabled = true).

It has been enabled by default since Grafana 10.2.

Invalid action

The following example shows a request with an invalid action. The action serviceaccounts.permissions:reader is not a valid action. The valid action should be serviceaccounts.permissions:read.

http

Content-Type: application/json

	"statusCode": 400,
	"traceID": ""
}
Invalid scope

The following example shows a request with an invalid scope. The scope serviceaccounts:serviceaccount6 is not a valid scope for the action serviceaccounts.permissions:read. The valid scopes for this action are *, serviceaccounts:* and serviceaccounts:id:*.

http

Update a role

PUT /api/access-control/roles/:uid

Update the role with the given UID, and its permissions. The operation is idempotent and all permissions of the role will be replaced based on the request content. You need to increment the version of the role with each update, otherwise the request will fail.

You can update custom roles and basic roles permissions. However fixed roles cannot be updated.

Required permissions

permissions:type:delegate scope ensures that users can only update custom roles with the same, or a subset of permissions which the user has. For example, if a user does not have required permissions for creating users, they won’t be able to update a custom role which allows to do that. This is done to prevent escalation of privileges.
