Authentication

Depending on the environment in which it is run, Grafana supports different authentication providers such as keys, a credentials file, or using the “Default” provider from AWS which supports using service-based IAM roles. These providers can be manually enabled/disabled with the allowed_auth_providers field in Grafana’s config file. To read more about supported authentication providers refer to the AWS authentication section
