Feature request: Make it configurable whether explore should require signin or not

[crazzy]

What would you like to be added:

I would like to have access to /explore feature configurable whether it should be as today when it requires signin or whether to allow Viewer role regardless of signin status.

Reference: https://github.com/grafana/grafana/blob/master/pkg/api/api.go#L81

Why is this needed:

It's needed because we want people not having an account in Grafana to be able to explore the datasources, and from what I've seen on searching previous issues for this feature most other people seems to want Grafana to protect this feature.

Hi, I am not sure I fully understand your use-case.

You can allow signed in Viewers to use explore if you set
viewers_can_edit = true in the config

You can also turn off loggin in an let anyone use Grafana by setting

[auth.anonymous]
# enable anonymous access
enabled = true

# specify organization name that should be used for unauthenticated users
org_name = Main Org.

# specify role for unauthenticated users
org_role = Viewer

Here you can also decide what role you unauthenticated users get and thus control if they see explore or not.

Is this not sufficient for your needs?

@jongyllen @peterholmberg can you please reopen this issue?
Similiar to #32585 we have users without edit permissions, we still want them to be able to use the explore section (for example, this the only available way to look at traces)

There needs to be a way to specify to distinguish between edit previlages and those functionality

Passing this to @grafana/observability-squad to see if they will reopen it

Hello, as you may have heard, we are transitioning away from using discussions to discuss feature requests. Due to the age and number of responses to this discussion, we are deciding to close it. If this is something you would like to see in Grafana, feel free to open an issue so the discussion can continue. Thank you!
