Hi fellow Splunkers,

I am looking for a way to restrict access to certain alert scripts if possible.

Is there a way to restrict access to alert scripts at all?

Thank you,
J

Hello,

user role by default doesn't have the ability to create Alerts (So good here!). However, power and above can send Alerts by design. If you want to restrict a specific script action, your best best is to put it under

/opt/splunk/etc/apps/My_new_app/bin/scripts. And limit the app's access to admin only.

Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Raghav
