How do you enable least-privilege access for Grafana dashboards?

Enabling least-privilege access for Grafana dashboards is crucial for maintaining security and ensuring that users have access only to the resources they truly need. By implementing role-based access control (RBAC), administrators can set permissions based on the user's role, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Here’s an example of how to configure least-privilege access for a Grafana dashboard:

{ "roles": [ { "name": "Viewer", "permissions": [ { "resource": "dashboard", "action": "view", "scope": { "dashboardId": "1" // Replace with the specific dashboard ID } } ] }, { "name": "Editor", "permissions": [ { "resource": "dashboard", "action": "view", "scope": { "dashboardId": "*" // View all dashboards } }, { "resource": "dashboard", "action": "edit", "scope": { "dashboardId": "1" // Replace with the specific dashboard ID } } ] } ] }
