How is Grafana access controlled?
- An administrator connects Grafana in the intended Stackyapper workspace.
- The administrator grants available tools to specific workspaces, groups, or people.
- Stackyapper resolves the connection within the current credential and tenant scope.
- Stackyapper checks permissions and safety controls again before every request.
- Actions that require confirmation do not execute until the exact request is confirmed.
Does Grafana send its API credential to Claude or ChatGPT?
No. Stackyapper keeps the encrypted provider credential secure and does not send it to the AI client.
How do I evaluate the Grafana beta?
- Create or select a non-production Stackyapper workspace.
- Find Grafana in the app catalog and request beta access if it is not enabled.
- Use the provider authorization described above with the narrowest practical permissions.
- Grant only the read-only tool needed for the evaluation.
- Request no more than five records, confirm the result in Audit, and expand access only when the test succeeds.
Support boundaries
- Stackyapper does not claim that every endpoint in the Grafana API is exposed.
- Provider plan, account configuration, API scopes, and upstream availability can limit results.
- Administrators are responsible for correct provider permissions and user grants.
- Support status and available tools can change as provider capabilities evolve.
