# View Grafana server settings

If you are a Grafana server admin, then you can use the Settings tab to view the settings applied to your Grafana server by the [Configuration]({{< relref "configuration.md#config-file-locations" >}}) file and any environmental variables.

> **Note:** Only Grafana server admins can access the **Server Admin** menu. For more information about about admin permissions, refer to [Grafana server admin]({{< relref "../permissions/_index.md" >}}).

## View server settings
