# Grafana
## Backend class
For Django, add this class path to `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`. For other
integrations, use the same class path in the framework-specific backend
setting.
| Backend name | Class path |
|----------------|----------------------------------------------|
| `grafana` | `social_core.backends.grafana.GrafanaOAuth2` |
Grafana works similar to Facebook (OAuth).
- On your project settings, you should add Grafana on your `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS`:
```default
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
...
'social_core.backends.grafana.GrafanaOAuth2',
)
```
- Register a new application at Grafana Cloud Portal in grafana.com by doing
My Account β SECURITY β OAuth Clients β Add OAuth Client Application.
Set any name and in URL just the domain, without any path.
- Copy client_id and client_secret and add these values in your project settings file.
The `client_id` should be added on `SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_KEY` and the `client_secret` should be
added on `SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_SECRET`:
```default
SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_KEY = 'a1b2c3d4'
SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_SECRET = 'e5f6g7h8i9'
```
- The default scope is ``['profile', 'email']`` but itβs possible to define it in settings with:
```default
SOCIAL_AUTH_GRAFANA_SCOPE = [...]
```
