Grafana role mapping vs Fly org roles + Volume alerts

Hi team,

We are running an application under the Codemancers organization. On Fly, our org members have different roles (Admin/Member), but when we log into the managed Grafana instance, all users appear only as Editors.

  • Why are Fly organization roles not being mapped to Grafana roles (e.g., Admin → Grafana Admin)?

  • How can we assign Grafana Admin access to manage dashboards, alerts, and permissions?

Additionally, we would like to set up alerts when attached volumes reach 80–90% usage. Is there a way to enable this in the managed Grafana instance (perhaps via an AddManager connection or some other configuration), or is there a recommended alternative approach?

Thanks,
Puneeth Kumar VH

I should think that is a level of integration they didn’t get around to.

How can we assign Grafana Admin access to manage dashboards, alerts, and permissions?

Would you explain what you’re stuck on in particular? I think Grafana has some kind of role-based access control (I probably need to find out, as I’m using it in a few weeks).

You asked this question yesterday, and I gave a partial answer here. Perhaps you could continue that topic on the other thread, and show whatever research you have so far. You can do a lot with Grafana!

(Additional thought: if you are expecting Grafana to be plug-and-play, or GUI only, my current view is that it is not the monitoring ecosystem you’re looking for.)

you should set up fly-telemetry if you need anything more than the hosted grafana instance supports (it does not support user roles, it doesn’t support alerts; but anyone can edit custom dashboards and create new ones).

we need to add this alertManager to set alerts. It is showing contact your Grafana admin for all users of our organisation. How to find who is having the admin access?

we need to add this alertManager to set alerts, do we need fly-telemetry for this?

there is no user account on fly-metrics that is an admin. you will need to deploy your own grafana instance, for example with fly-telemetry.
