Authentication API

The Authentication HTTP API is used to manage API keys.

{{% admonition type="note" %}} Grafana recommends using service accounts instead of API keys. For more information, refer to [Grafana service account API reference]({{< relref "./serviceaccount/" >}}). {{% /admonition %}}

If you are running Grafana Enterprise, for some endpoints you would need to have relevant permissions. Refer to [Role-based access control permissions]({{< relref "../../administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/custom-role-actions-scopes/" >}}) for more information.
