Dashboards & Visualizations

I have no rights to add a Background image to a Dashboard Studio dashboard

I can't add any Background images to a dashboard created in dashboard studio and i presume it is because my role is missing the correct capability.

I am trying to find information relating to what cap. i need but i could not find anything.

Chat.G.P.T. answered that there is a cap. "edit_visualizations" but i could not find info about that.

Can someone help me with identifying the correct capability linked to adding a background image to a Dashboard Studio dashboard?

Thanks in advance, Paul

It appears that this privilege is relegated to the "admin" and "power" roles, rather than a single Capability.

I've tested this by making a test role inherit from the "power" role, then it let me upload an image.

But when the test role is assigned all the same capabilities as the power role, it does not allow for uploading of images.

Thus you will need to either inherit from the power or admin roles, or request someone with that inheritance or role assignment to upload the image for you.

P.S. ChatGPT is off the mark. There is no "edit_visualizations" capability in Splunk.
