Once the free license expires the admin account will be the only account that functions.

I'm planning on one receiver at the moment, with 3-4 forwarders. I'm looking forward to trying it out!</P> <P>Steve</P> Wed, 10 Jun 2020 16:09:16 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/What-is-meant-by-one-user-for-the-free-version-of-Splunk/m-p/419178#M1365 stevecrow 2020-06-10T16:09:16Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/What-is-meant-by-one-user-for-the-free-version-of-Splunk/m-p/419179#M1366 <P>Hi Steve,</P> <P>The free license does not allow you to create multiple users, but if you are just trying it out the 30 day enterprise license does allow multiple users to be created.

It says:</P> <P>There is no authentication or user and role management when using Splunk Free. This means:</P> <UL> <LI>There is no login. The command line or browser can access and control all aspects of Splunk Free with no user and password prompt.</LI> <LI>All accesses are treated as equivalent to the admin user. There is only one role (admin), and it is not configurable. You cannot add more roles or create user accounts.</LI> <LI>Searches are run against all public indexes, 'index=*'.</LI> <LI>Restrictions on search, such as user quotas, maximum per-search time ranges, and search filters, are not supported.</LI> <LI>The capability system is disabled. All available capabilities are enabled for all users accessing Splunk Free.</LI> </UL> Tue, 11 Jun 2019 19:42:58 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/What-is-meant-by-one-user-for-the-free-version-of-Splunk/m-p/419180#M1367 ChrisG 2019-06-11T19:42:58Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/What-is-meant-by-one-user-for-the-free-version-of-Splunk/m-p/419181#M1368 <P>We are a small two man operation.
