## DataSourceInstanceSettings interface

Frontend settings model that is passed to Datasource constructor. This differs a bit from the model above as this data model is available to every user who has access to a data source (Viewers+). This is loaded in bootData (on page load), or from: /api/frontend/settings

<b>Signature</b>

```typescript
export interface DataSourceInstanceSettings<T extends DataSourceJsonData = DataSourceJsonData> 
```
<b>Import</b>

```typescript
import { DataSourceInstanceSettings } from '@grafana/data';
```
<b>Properties</b>

|  Property | Type | Description |

|  [basicAuth](#basicauth-property) | <code>string</code> | This is the full Authorization header if basic auth is enabled. Only available here when access is Browser (direct), when access is Server (proxy) The basic auth header, username &amp; password is never exposed to browser/Frontend so this will be empty then. |
