### The grafana/e2e testing tool is deprecated
#### Description
The Cypress based grafana/e2e end-to-end testing tool is now deprecated.
#### Migration/mitigation
We recommend all plugin authors to migrate their end-to-end tests to use the new Playwright-based [grafana/plugin-e2e](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@grafana/plugin-e2e?activeTab=readme) package instead. Find details on how to migrate from grafana/e2e to grafana/plugin-e2e in the [migration guide](https://grafana.com/developers/plugin-tools/e2e-test-a-plugin/migrate-from-grafana-e2e).

Why "preview?" The Grafana 11.0 stable release is planned for this May. This is an early release to coincide with [Grafanacon 2024](https://grafana.com/about/events/grafanacon/2024/), so that you can try the new functionality early. To understand the differences between preview and GA releases, review the [release life cycle](https://grafana.com/docs/release-life-cycle/).

## Data sources
### Azure Monitor: Current User authentication
<!-- #grafana-partner-datasources, @Andreas -->
### RBAC for alert rule provisioning APIs
_Experimental in all editions of Grafana_
<!-- Yuri Tseretyan -->
You can now configure the Azure Monitor data source to authenticate as the logged-in Grafana user when making query and resource requests if you also use Azure Entra to sign your users into Grafana.
Current User authentication allows you to enforce Azure RBAC restrictions on your Grafana users by removing the need to provide broad service credentials. Once a data source is configured with Current User authentication a user will **only** have access to resources they can access directly in Azure.
Additionally, data sources configured to use Current User authentication are less likely to be impacted by throttling issues due to the individual level of access.
_Generally available in all editions of Grafana_
Current User authentication does not inherently support backend features such as alerting. To account for this, data sources configured with Current User authentication can optionally specify service credentials that will be utilized for backend features when no signed-in user is available.
The Alerting Provisioning HTTP API has been updated to enforce Role-Based Access Control (RBAC).
To get started with Current User authentication, refer to the [Azure Monitor data source documentation](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/<GRAFANA_VERSION>/datasources/azure-monitor/#configure-current-user-authentication).
- For Grafana OSS, users with the **Editor** role can now use the API.
- For Grafana Enterprise and Grafana Cloud, users with the role **Rules Writer** and **Set Provisioning status** can access the API and limit access to alert rules that use a particular data source.
- Other roles related to provisioning, for example **Access to alert rules** provisioning API still work.
