Enterprise License API

Licensing is only available in Grafana Enterprise. Read more about Grafana Enterprise.

{{< admonition type="caution" >}} You can't authenticate to the Licensing HTTP API with service account tokens. Service accounts are limited to an organization and an organization role. They can't be granted Grafana server administrator permissions.

To use these API endpoints you have to use Basic authentication and the Grafana user must have the Grafana server administrator permission.

The admin user that Grafana is provisioned with by default has permissions to use these API endpoints. {{< /admonition >}}

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.
