We’ve continued to make improvements on the plugin, and we’ll share in this blog post a few new features we’ve built.

From early on, Grafana has managed access control with three organizational permission levels (Viewer, Editor, and Admin) and one special global permission level of Grafana Admin. There are also configuration file options that can be globally applied to all users in an organization within an instance, as well as data source permissions and dashboard permissions.

(And in case you missed any of the great sessions at GrafanaCONline, the videos are available on demand now!) Each of these 12 dashboards was built by our community, for our community.
