This document is a “bottom up” introduction to basic concepts in Grafana, and can be used as a starting point to get familiar with core features.
### Data Source
Grafana supports many different storage backends for your time series data (Data Source). Each Data Source has a specific Query Editor that is customized for the features and capabilities that the particular Data Source exposes.
The following datasources are officially supported: [Graphite]({{< relref "features/datasources/graphite.md" >}}), [InfluxDB]({{< relref "features/datasources/influxdb.md" >}}), [OpenTSDB]({{< relref "features/datasources/opentsdb.md" >}}), [Prometheus]({{< relref "features/datasources/prometheus.md" >}}), [Elasticsearch]({{< relref "features/datasources/elasticsearch.md" >}}), [CloudWatch]({{< relref "features/datasources/cloudwatch.md" >}}).

The query language and capabilities of each Data Source are obviously very different. You can combine data from multiple Data Sources onto a single Dashboard, but each Panel is tied to a specific Data Source that belongs to a particular Organization.
### Organization
Grafana supports multiple organizations in order to support a wide variety of deployment models, including using a single Grafana instance to provide service to multiple potentially untrusted Organizations.
In many cases, Grafana will be deployed with a single Organization.

For more details on the user model for Grafana, please refer to [Admin](/reference/admin/)
### User
A User is a named account in Grafana. A user can belong to one or more Organizations, and can be assigned different levels of privileges through roles.
Grafana supports a wide variety of internal and external ways for Users to authenticate themselves. These include from its own integrated database, from an external SQL server, or from an external LDAP server.
