Team,

I have an existing Grafana running as part of the dependency for **prometheus-operator/kube-prometheus-stack chart**. Grafana has a single Organization and few dashboards. I am trying to provision a new dashboard which should be created in a new Organization.

Here is the values.yaml snippet configuration I tried:

> ```
> dashboardProviders:
> dashboardproviders.yaml:
> apiVersion: 1
> providers:
> - name: "app1Dashboards"
> orgId: 1
> folder: ""
> type: file
> disableDeletion: false
> allowUiUpdates: false
> options:
> foldersFromFilesStructure: false
> path: /tmp/dashboards
> - name: "app2Dashboards"
> orgId: 2
> folder: ""
> type: file
> disableDeletion: false
> allowUiUpdates: false
> options:
> foldersFromFilesStructure: false
> path: /tmp/app2/dashboards
> 
> ```

However, using this configuration I encountered an error:

```
> t=2021-02-09T09:03:02+0000 lvl=eror msg="Failed to provision dashboard" logger=provisioning error="Failed to create provisioner: Failed to read dashboards config: failed to provision dashboards with "app2Dashboards" reader: Organization not found"
> t=2021-02-09T09:03:02+0000 lvl=eror msg="Stopped ProvisioningService" logger=server reason="Failed to create provisioner: Failed to read dashboards config: failed to provision dashboards with "app2Dashboards" reader: Organization not found"
> t=2021-02-09T09:03:02+0000 lvl=eror msg="A service failed" logger=server err="Failed to create provisioner: Failed to read dashboards config: failed to provision dashboards with "app2Dashboards" reader: Organization not found"
> t=2021-02-09T09:03:02+0000 lvl=eror msg="Server shutdown" logger=server reason="Failed to create provisioner: Failed to read dashboards config: failed to provision dashboards with "app2Dashboards" reader: Organization not found"
> Failed to create provisioner: Failed to read dashboards config: failed to provision dashboards with "app2Dashboards" reader: Organization not found

```

My use-case scenario is APP1 is for teamA and APP2 is for teamB and neither should be able to access the other Dashboard(s).

How do I create(provision) the second Org in helm chart?

Hi,

Did you try to use the Organization API to create the org beforehand.

Instead, this is a typical RBAC scenario, you should create user groups and restrict access to each dashboard folder using the API :

> **[Folder Permissions HTTP API](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/http_api/folder_permissions/)**
>
> Grafana Folder Permissions HTTP API

Hope it helps.

Good Luck
