Hello,

I have a dashboard where the drop down list is working for me as i have splunk admin access where as the same drop down list is not populating for a user with splunk user level access.

How do i need to troubleshoot this issue?

Thanks

If the dropdown is populated by a search, look at the search being run and then you can determine if that user can see the data being searched.

Ask the user to manually run the search.

Look at any index constraints for the roles the user belongs to.
