How to set up Grafana so that no password is necessary to view dashboards

Question

Despite these settings, Grafana still requires the use of a password to view Dashboards. Can someone please help me with the correct settings?

[auth.anonymous]
#         


        

Answer 1

First of all, in grafana.ini adjust the following values:

[auth.anonymous]
# enable anonymous access
enabled = true

# specify organization name that should be used for unauthenticated users
org_name = YOUR_ORG_NAME_HERE

# specify role for unauthenticated users
org_role = SOME_USER_NAME_HERE # e.g. Anonymous

Now, after restarting Grafana, log in and make sure there is another user than admin created. If not, create one. The values in the user creation dialogue are actually unimportant to achieve the task.

Finally, set the same organisation name under global orgs to match your grafana.ini value. Also, make sure the user you created has the role you set in grafana.ini (in my example the role would be "Anonymous").
