can we build app without "search" view?

[saifuddin9122]

Hello All,

can we build APP which doesn't have search view. The App will have all the dashboards where user can use those dashboard to view the data instead of writing queries. This app is for group of users who should not write queries and should not have have access to default "search & Reporting" app. This way we are totally restricting this users to write queries.

Any ideas or Help is appreciated.

Thanks.

@saifuddin9122, you can do this via Splunk Navigation Menu. You can access via

Splunk UI > Settings > User interface > Navigation menus > default

You can remove the following and add default="true" to one of your dashboards:

<view name="search" default="true" />

Refer to the Splunk Dev site for more details on how to edit navigation: http://dev.splunk.com/view/webframework-developapps/SP-CAAAEP9

However, you would have to retain the User's access to Search & Reporting app which you can not remove. Refer to answer: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/337286/after-removing-permission-dashboard-role-from-sear.html
