YouTube — Configure Amazon Managed Grafana with Grafana Teams

Managing a group of users using Grafana Team

Amazon Managed Grafana uses Grafana Team that enables you to grant permissions to a group of users. For example, instead of assigning five users access to the same dashboard, you can create a team that consists of those users and assign dashboard permissions to the team. In addition, a user can belong to multiple teams. You can set up team sync to automatically synchronize team membership between your Grafana workspace and your identity provider. This mechanism allows Amazon Managed Grafana to remove an existing synchronized user from a team when its group membership changes. This gives you the flexibility to combine group memberships and Amazon Managed Grafana team memberships.

Managing user access individually is time consuming and inefficient. In this post, we’ll walk you through how Amazon Managed Grafana Teams enable you to simplify user access management. The Grafana Team construct lets you manage permissions for multiple users with similar access requirements. Using Grafana Team can help you simplify user management as members of a team inherit permissions from the team.

Users can authenticate to an Amazon Managed Grafana workspace using SAML, AWS SSO, or both. The following diagram illustrates how Grafana Teams enables you to organize users, resources, and permissions for both Okta (SAML 2.0 provider) and AWS SSO.

In this video, you’ll see how to configure Amazon Managed Grafana with Grafana Teams. With this solution, you can simplify user access management, manage permissions for multiple users with similar access requirements, and synchronize team membership between your Grafana workspace and your identity provider.
