# Grafana Enterprise

Grafana Enterprise is a commercial edition of Grafana that includes additional features not found in the open source version.

Building on everything you already know and love about Grafana open source, Grafana Enterprise includes [exclusive datasource plugins]({{< relref "#enterprise-plugins">}}) and [additional features]({{< relref "#enterprise-features">}}). You also get 24x7x365 support and training from the core Grafana team.

## Enterprise features in Grafana Cloud

Many Grafana Enterprise features are also available in [Grafana Cloud]({{< ref "/docs/grafana-cloud" >}}) Pro and Advanced accounts. For details, refer to [the Grafana Cloud features table](https://grafana.com/pricing/#featuresTable) and [Enterprise features available to Grafana Cloud Pro and Advanced accounts]({{< ref "/docs/grafana-cloud/reference/enterprise-features" >}}).

## Authentication

Grafana Enterprise includes integrations with more ways to authenticate your users and enhanced authentication capabilities.

### Team sync

[Team sync]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-team-sync/" >}}) allows you to set up synchronization between teams in Grafana and teams in your auth provider so that your users automatically end up in the right team.

Supported auth providers:

- [Auth Proxy]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/auth-proxy/#team-sync-enterprise-only" >}})
- [Azure AD OAuth]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/azuread/#team-sync-enterprise-only" >}})
- [GitHub OAuth]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/github/#team-sync-enterprise-only" >}})
- [GitLab OAuth]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/gitlab/#team-sync-enterprise-only" >}})
- [LDAP]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/enhanced_ldap/#ldap-group-synchronization-for-teams" >}})
- [Okta]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/okta/#team-sync-enterprise-only" >}})
- [SAML]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/saml/#configure-team-sync" >}})

### Enhanced LDAP integration

With [enhanced LDAP integration]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/enhanced_ldap/" >}}), you can set up active LDAP synchronization.

### SAML authentication

[SAML authentication]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/saml/" >}}) enables users to authenticate with single sign-on services that use Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML).

### Protected roles

With [protected roles]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-authentication/#protected-roles" >}}), you can define user roles that are exempt from being converted from one authentication type to another when changing auth providers.

## Enterprise features

Grafana Enterprise adds the following features:

- [Role-based access control]({{< relref "../administration/roles-and-permissions/access-control/" >}}) to control access with role-based permissions.
- [Data source permissions]({{< relref "../administration/data-source-management/" >}}) to restrict query access to specific teams and users.
- [Data source query caching]({{< relref "query-caching" >}}) to temporarily store query results in Grafana to reduce data source load and rate limiting.
- [Reporting]({{< relref "../dashboards/create-reports/" >}}) to generate a PDF report from any dashboard and set up a schedule to have it emailed to whoever you choose.
- [Export dashboard as PDF]({{< relref "../dashboards/share-dashboards-panels/#export-dashboard-as-pdf" >}})
- [Custom branding]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-grafana/configure-custom-branding/" >}}) to customize Grafana from the brand and logo to the footer links.

- [Vault integration]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-database-encryption/integrate-with-hashicorp-vault/" >}}) to manage your configuration or provisioning secrets with Vault.
- [Auditing]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/audit-grafana/" >}}) tracks important changes to your Grafana instance to help you manage and mitigate suspicious activity and meet compliance requirements.
- [Request security]({{< relref "../setup-grafana/configure-security/configure-request-security/" >}}) makes it possible to restrict outgoing requests from the Grafana server.
- [Settings updates at runtime]({{< relref "settings-updates" >}}) allows you to update Grafana settings at runtime without requiring a restart.
