Manage teams

A team is a group of users assigned to an organization on a Grafana server. Each user can belong to more than one organization and more than one team. Teams are generally managed by Organization Admins, but they can also be managed by Editors if the editors_can_admin server setting is set to true. For more information, refer to Organization roles.

Teams members are assigned one of two permissions:

  • Member - Required to be a member of the team.
  • Admin - A member of the team that can also manage team membership, change team permissions, change team settings, and add or delete the team.

Note: You must have Organization Admin or Team Admin permissions, or Editor permissions with editors_can_admin selected, in order to perform the tasks described in this page. Team Admins can only perform tasks that apply to their specific team.
