Change Grafana UI theme

    Some tasks require certain permissions. For more information about roles, refer to Permissions.

    The theme affects how Grafana displays graphs, menus, other UI elements.

    Default is either the dark theme or the theme selected in a higher level. For example, if an Organization administrator set the Light theme, then that is the default for all the teams in that organization.
