Basic Authentication works only with self-hosted Grafana that has basic authentication enabled, which is the default. Grafana Cloud accepts service account tokens only.

​
Create a Grafana user

Basic Authentication signs in as a Grafana user, so access follows that user’s organization role. Use a dedicated user rather than a personal account.

1

Create the user

Sign in to your Grafana server as a Grafana server administrator, then go to Administration > Users and access > Users.

  • Click New user.
  • Name: StackOne Integration
  • Username: stackone
  • Password: A strong password for this user
  • Click Create user.
The New user form with the Name, Username and Password fields and the Create user button highlighted

Set the organization role

On the user’s page, find your organization in the Organizations section.

  • Click Change role.
  • Select Admin for full access, or Editor or Viewer to limit access.
