Required capabilities to upload a file

pbalbasdtt — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 17:36:05 GMT

Hi all,

From one client is required that users, with a role similar to power, have to be able to upload files using the GUI.

With the following capabilities:

accelerate_search
change_own_password
delete_messages
edit_monitor
edit_search_schedule_window
edit_sourcetypes
edit_statsd_transforms
edit_tcp
embed_report
export_results_is_visible
get_metadata
get_typeahead
indexes_edit
input_file
list_accelerate_search
list_inputs
list_metrics_catalog
list_tokens_own
metric_alerts
output_file
pattern_detect
request_remote_tok
rest_apps_view
rest_properties_get
rest_properties_set
rtsearch
run_collect
run_mcollect
schedule_rtsearch
schedule_search
search
search_process_config_refresh
upload_lookup_files

Users are able only to reach this point:

I tried to find in the docs what is the missing capability in here, but I cannot find it. Can someone give a hand on this? Many thanks in advance.

Best regards.

hi @pbalbasdtt,

You need to inherit role user OR power to the new role. Looks like only Splunk default roles have access to upload file and index.

If this reply helps you, an upvote/like would be appreciated.

As mentioned here, looks like there is no index assigned in your roles, hence the add data is showing error like this.

Go to setting->roles->Go to your role->index, assign some index to your user.
