Can't see alert and how to change its permissions

[eddy_liang]

Hi All,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm the admin of our Splunk instance and I can't see an alert my colleague (of a lesser permission'ed role) created. AFAIK, the alert is set to private for himself - but as an admin why am I not seeing it? I can see some other peoples'.

He also tried to change this alert's Sharing to be App, but is greyed out. What's needed to fix that?

Thanks guys. That worked.

Hi @eddy_liang 

Pls check Renjith Nair's response(link below):
Check under Settings -> All Configurations . You should be able to see all dashboards under config type view and similarly other objects as well. You might need to edit permissions there to share from private to Global to list them under dashboards

Also some long list of capabilities you need to make sure your admin role got.. check this:

You can find those private objects by Settings -> All configurations.
