Yes. Managed Grafana always encrypts all data at rest and in transit. It supports [encryption at rest](./encryption.md) using Microsoft-managed keys. All network communication is over TLS 1.2. You can further restrict network traffic using a [private link](./how-to-set-up-private-access.md) for connecting to Grafana and [managed private endpoints](./how-to-connect-to-data-source-privately.md) for data sources.

## In terms of pricing, what constitutes an active user in Azure Managed Grafana?
39
+
40
+
The Azure Managed Grafana [pricing page](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/managed-grafana/) mentions a price per active user.
41

Charges for active users are prorated during the first and the last calendar month of service usage. For example:

+
46
+
- For an instance running from January 15 at 00:00 to January 25 at 23:59 with 10 users, the charge is for the prorated period they had access to the instance. Pricing is calculated for 10 users for 11 out of 31 days, which equals a charge for 3.54 active users.
47
+
48
+
- For an instance running from January 15 at 00:00 to March 25 at 23:59:
49
+
50
+
- On January 31, the charge is for 10 users prorated for 16 days of January out of 31 days, totaling a charge for 5.16 active users.
51
+
- On February 28, the full monthly charge applies for 20 users.
52
+
- Upon deletion on March 25, the charge for March would be prorated for 15 users for 25 days out of 31 days, totaling a charge for 12.90 active users.
