Data Source Permissions API

The Data Source Permissions is only available in Grafana Enterprise. Read more about Grafana Enterprise.

If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you'll need to have specific permissions. Refer to Role-based access control permissions for more information.

This API can be used to list, add and remove permissions for a data source.

Permissions can be set for a user, team, service account or a basic role (Admin, Editor, Viewer).
