Configure RBAC in Grafana
Note: Available in Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud Advanced.
The table below describes all RBAC configuration options. 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. | false |
