 ## 5. So does it all mean I can point `kubectl` directly at the Grafana server and use it to create dashboards?
 
-**Yes, with caveats.** `kubectl` is supported under a dev-mode-only, experimental `grafanaAPIServerEnsureKubectlAccess` feature flag and requires `server.protocol` set to `https`. Enabling `https` causes Grafana to configure its web server with TLS certificates, either loading specified certificate/key files or generating self-signed ones if none are provided.

-**Standard Behavior (Flag disabled):**
-
-By default, `kubectl` cannot connect directly to Grafana. Grafana APIs use standard Grafana authentication (sessions, API keys), which `kubectl` does not handle natively.
-
-**Experimental `kubectl` support (Flag enabled):**
-
 If you enable the `grafanaAPIServerEnsureKubectlAccess` feature flag, Grafana will enter "dev mode" and generate a `grafana.kubeconfig` file in its config directory. The kubeconfig contains a bearer token and server details allowing `kubectl` to connect to Grafana's Resource API. Relying on the flag for production workflows is discouraged in favor of using Grafana's standard provisioning method.
+
+**Grafana's auth:**
+
+You can also use `kubectl` without `grafanaAPIServerEnsureKubectlAccess` using Grafana Service Accounts (`glsa_...`) thanks to `kubectl`'s token authentication mechanism.

+kubectl config set-cluster localgrafana --server=https://localhost:3000 --insecure-skip-tls-verify
+
+# replace with your token
+kubectl config set-credentials localgrafana --token=glsa_...
