Data source permissions
Data source permissions allow you to restrict access for users to query a data source. For each data source there is a permission page that allows you to enable permissions and restrict query permissions to specific users and teams.
Note: Data source permissions are only available in Grafana Enterprise. For more information, refer to Data source permissions in Grafana Enterprise.
