Overview
Governance Console provides centralized configuration and governance for multi-team Datadog accounts. It offers a unified view of usage, adoption, and configuration across your Datadog deployment. Governance Console enforces policies, applies default configurations, and transforms your organization’s activity into insights for optimization.
Required permissions
The governance_console_read permission controls access to the Governance Console. Users with governance_console_read assigned to their role can view the Governance Console UI and associated reporting and insights.
Product-specific permissions restrict users’ ability to change product-specific settings. For example, modifying or automating metrics configuration requires the metrics_write permission.
