https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/db-connect-and-user-roles/m-p/76248#M181463 <P>Hi, Is is possible for a user other than admin, power user for example, to setup database connections, databases lookups and inputs. I have used <CODE>default.meta</CODE> and <CODE>local.meta</CODE> settings but a power user can create connections, lookups and etc. only with the <CODE>admin_all_objects</CODE> capability.</P> <P>Thanks</P> Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:13:09 GMT my_splunk 2013-06-26T13:13:09Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/db-connect-and-user-roles/m-p/76248#M181463 <P>Hi, Is is possible for a user other than admin, power user for example, to setup database connections, databases lookups and inputs.

I take that to mean non-admin users cannot perform those functions.</P> Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:31:01 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/db-connect-and-user-roles/m-p/76249#M181464 richgalloway 2013-06-26T13:31:01Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/db-connect-and-user-roles/m-p/76250#M181465 <P>Docs require admin login for database connections. For lookups and inputs, docs say "Log in to Splunk Web" but is not explicitly required login as admin user...<BR /> Thanks</P> Wed, 26 Jun 2013 13:40:32 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Search/db-connect-and-user-roles/m-p/76250#M181465 my_splunk 2013-06-26T13:40:32Z
