Dashboards & Visualizations

Allow user to change password in app

This is my first time creating an app. I have a requirement to allow certain users to have a dashboard view only, so I have created my own app and the dashboard user role does not have read permission to the search and launcher app. Everything is working fine except for 2 issues:

  1. User is unable to change password. When user clicks on "Edit Account", there is a message "Fail: Client is not authorized to perform requested action". The splunkd_access.log is showing myapp/authentication/changepassword/undefined
  2. User clicks on Splunk icon, there is a message "Splunk cannot find the home view".

Please advise on the steps to rectify the problems. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
I found a simpler solution through trial and error. Copy authentication_change_user_password.xml from the search app to my own app.

Can you provide more details on WHERE you put the file? I have tried putting it in about 10 different places, and splunk doesnt pick it up. Still get the following error...regardless of where I drop the authentication_change_user_password.xml file.

App "search" does not support UI access.

Any help is appreciated.

For the password part you could have your users added through LDAP, so they can change their password there.
