How to restrict write access to my dashboard from any users outside my team application?

LearningGuy — Wed, 29 May 2024 01:21:25 GMT

Hello,

How to restrict write access to my dashboard from any users outside my team application?
For example:
I am "User1" and I created "Test" dashboard in "App1".
App1 is my team application. I want to restrict write access (but allow read access) to "Test" dashboard from any users outside "App1"
I want to allow ONLY my team within "App1" to have read and write access to "Test" dashboard.

If I set the following setting (see below), users from outside App1 can go inside the App1 and edit the dashboard.
Please suggest. Thank you!!

Hi @LearningGuy,

you have to create a role for your team, and enable writing permission on the dashboard only for this team.

There isn't an exclusion permission, you have to define who can access and who can modify an object.

You should do the same thing for all the knowledge objects in your dashboard (fields, eventtypes, etc...).

For this reson it's always a good idea to design roles and permissions before the app creation, to avoid to modify al the object at the end of the development process.

Hi @gcusello
If I am not an admin, Is it possible to do the following? (refer to my main question)

I want to allow ONLY my team within "App1" to have read and write access to "Test" dashboard.

Thanks

Hi @LearningGuy,

the only way to restrict access to any object are roles.

Hi @gcusello ,
Just to clarify. I am not an admin, so it's not possible for me to create a role , correct?

Thanks

Hi @LearningGuy,

I understand that you're not an admin, but roles is the only way to restrict accesses in Splunk.

So, ask to your administrators to creare different roles to enable your dashboards and knowledhe objects ony to selected (by roles) users.

Ciao.
