How to remove search button below the panel and search capabilities as well

varad_joshi — Mon, 17 Aug 2020 17:18:20 GMT

I have couple of related things to be addressed.

I want to remove the search button from the panels so that users from specific roles can only see the dashboards.

While the 'user' cannot see the search button, I want admins to see that option.

So putting <option name="link.openSearch.visible">false</option> in the XML is ruled out.

Is there any other way?

I do not want users to have the search capabilities as well. If I am doing that, the searches in dashboards are also not working. Can I make them see the dashboards but take away the capabilities of running the ad-hoc searches?

@varad_joshi you can refer to one of my older answers to use logged in user role in Splunk Dashboard and enable/disable required inputs for non-admins:https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/Can-i-restrict-permissions-for-the-text-box-drilldown-inputs/td-p/338529. In your case you would need to hide the Open in Search link.

<init> <set token="searchShowHideCSS">visibility: hidden !important;</set> </init> <search> <progress>  <condition match="$job.resultCount$==0"> <set token="searchShowHideCSS"></set> </condition>  <condition> <set token="searchShowHideCSS">visibility: hidden !important;</set> </condition> </progress> <query>| rest splunk_server=local /services/authentication/current-context | fields username roles | eval roles=mvjoin(roles,",") | search roles!="admin"</query> <earliest>$earliest$</earliest> <latest>$latest$</latest> </search> <row depends="$alwaysHideCSSPanel$"> <panel> <html> <style> a[data-original-title="Open in Search"]{ $searchShowHideCSS$ } </style> </html> </panel> </row>

For the second question you may have to provide more details. If you can provide users with results from a predefined Report or Scheduled search you can use the loadjob command, hence abstracting the underlying search. Users can have access to the report but not to search.
