I thought that I had tested this but now when I try to add a user it just hangs. Any help is much appreciated!</P> Wed, 09 Aug 2017 12:33:12 GMT brent_weaver 2017-08-09T12:33:12Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Deployment-Architecture/Adding-users-via-REST-API-on-search-head-cluster/m-p/360119#M13282 <P>Is it possible to add users via the Splunk REST API in a SH cluster?
