Authenticating to grafana API with a managed identity

[Poltergeisen]

We are using Azure Managed Grafana and I want to connect and manage dashboards with the API using a managed identity as a user.

Is this possible?

That's a question for Azure's support.

Why is this a question for azure support? Wouldnt the Grafana provider just have to add a solution to get the tokens from their endpoint?

Azure implements Grafana in their own way to get their managed identity provider to work with Grafana, correct ?

[Poltergeisen]

Good question... I'm not really sure in this case. I made this question back when I was pretty new to cloud. I'm not sure how azure Grafana authentication would work and if they'd need to write a custom provider or create some way to authenticate that would be implemented here
