 Here's some notes about [OpenFGA authorization model](https://openfga.dev/docs/modeling/getting-started) (schema) using to model access control in Grafana.

+A relation to a group_resource object grants access to all objects of the GroupResource.
+They take the form of `{ “user”: “user:1”, relation: “read”, object:”group_resource:dashboard.grafana.app/dashboard” }`. This
 example would grant `user:1` access to all `dashboard.grafana.app/dashboard` in the namespace.
