To add new data source you need to be either organization admin or grafana admin. When you have required rights there will be Datasources button under Dashboards button. To create new dashboard toggle dashboard dropdown under Home label.New button is on the lower left corner.

how do i become organization admin or grafana admin?
If Grafana setting users.allow_org_create is set to true you can create your own organization and automatically become administrator of it. It is false by default. If it set to false you need to contact person who is responsible for administration of your Grafana instance, and ask them to either adjust setting or give you required permission. As my understanding goes there is no built-in way to do so.
