Creating Users without email

Grafana
1

Hi,

Just starting to use Grafana with our SCOM environment. I am facing an issue as I am trying to set up users that have different domain accounts (standard and admin) but when I set up the second, although it is a different “account” it complains that the email address is already used.

Whilst that may be true, they ARE different accounts with different purposes, and will be able to see different things but the admin accounts don’t typically have email addresses.

It also appears that you cannot create a user without entering an email address.

How can we allow the creation of these accounts? Why is the email address required, rather than just the domain username and password? I get the invite email bit, but we don’t need that and can survive without it.

Thanks
Andy

Can you check this documentation?

Auth proxy

Does it provide you with what you need?

Grafana requires a unique email for each user as part of its authentication system. A workaround is to use alias emails (e.g., user+admin@domain.com) or dummy emails. Alternatively, if using LDAP or OAuth for authentication, Grafana can rely on domain usernames instead. You can also disable email verification in the config to bypass email-related restrictions.
