Grafana Enterprise 8.0 introduces fine-grained access control, allowing users to customize permissions more precisely than the traditional organizational levels of Viewer, Editor, and Admin. This new feature enables organizations to tailor access to specific functionalities, such as reporting, which was previously only accessible to administrators due to its resource-intensive nature. Users can now configure roles to allow editors to create, delete, and edit reports, while viewers can only view and send them. Additionally, the update allows organizations using external authentication methods like OAuth, SAML, or LDAP to disable internal user management capabilities within Grafana, enhancing security and control. The development team plans to extend this feature across more components of Grafana, aiming for deeper integrations and more flexible access management without relying on provisioning files or command-line tools, ultimately enhancing user satisfaction.
