+# Datasource Permissions API
+
+> Datasource Permissions is only available in Grafana Enterprise. Read more about [Grafana Enterprise]({{< relref "enterprise/index.md" >}}).
+
+This API can be used to enable, disable, list, add and remove permissions for a datasource.
+
+Permissions can be set for a user or a team. Permissions cannot be set for Admins - they always have access to everything.
