Removal of editors_can_admin configuration
Effective starting in Grafana 12.0, the configuration option editors_can_admin is removed.
The editors_can_admin setting in Grafana allows users with the Editor role to create and manage Grafana Teams. Editors in instances with this configuration setting no longer have these extra privileges.
We’re removing the settings because of the impact they would have on our new access engine. We’re not able to support these settings with the engine. We’re also considering these settings to be outside of the current engine, making it unsafe to be give continued support to these settings.
Migration/mitigation
There are two alternatives for editors_can_admin:
- Update Grafana Editors to Grafana Admins.
- Grant team creation permissions to users who need to manage teams. Note this is not possible for OSS users.
