Grafana 10 introduces a new user interface designed to simplify the configuration of SAML authentication, available for both Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud's various offerings. This UI allows users to manage SAML settings without needing to restart Grafana or file support requests, offering real-time configuration validation and role-based access control (RBAC) to limit user access during setup. While both the configuration file and the new UI offer the same setup options, the UI streamlines the process with immediate feedback and easy modifications. Grafana advises against splitting SAML configurations across multiple sources due to potential confusion, suggesting a precedence order prioritizing UI settings, followed by environment variables, and then the configuration file. This update aims to enhance user experience and simplify authentication setup, with plans for additional interfaces to further ease the management of authentication and authorization in Grafana.
