Can't enable feature toggles: "Feature Management is not configured for editing"

Hi everyone,

I’m using the latest Grafana version 10.4.0.
I enabled the “Feature Toggles” page and also allowed editing of feature toggles in grafana.ini with

[feature_toggles]
enable = featureToggleAdminPage

[feature_management]
allow_editing = true

These settings are confirmed at the Grafana Settings page: Home > Administration > General > Settings

I can see the “Feature Toggles” page at: Home > Administration > General > Feature Toggles
However, I cannot enable any feature. On top of the toggle, a tooltip appears: "Feature Management is not configured for editing" - although it clearly is in the settings.

any idea?
Thanks for your help

Same situation.

Following config ini allows to toggle features but still no GUI editting possible.

[feature_toggles]
featureToggleAdminPage = true
angularDeprecationUI = false
[feature_management]
allow_editing = true
read_only_toggles = false

Same problem here…

Hello! Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, this is a cloud-only feature right now, and therefore should have been hidden from the Grafana docs. Apologies for the confusion, we will clean this up.

For transparency, in Grafana Cloud, all this feature does under the hood is call an API that programmatically updates the grafana.ini file and restarts the instance. Grafana does not yet support restart-less Feature Toggle updates in any environment.

Thank you!

Thanks for the explanation.
I suggest to change the tooltip "Feature Management is not configured for editing" to something else, which makes it clearer, that you have to change grafana.ini manually.

Thanks
Tom
