Hi All,

One of our Cyber security person facing a strange issue while trying to access the data from the Splunk search portal.
Initial level of troubleshooting the issue we found that Roles/Permission are not syncing but later we found that Roles/Permission are auto changing frequently. We could not find any ERROR/WARN in the splunkd.log, so not sure how to troubleshoot this issue

Splunk version : 8.2 

OS: Linux 

Authentication mode: LDAP 

Environment: Splunk distributed Production Environment. 

Problem statement:  Roles/Permission are not syncing properly its getting auto changed frequently. 

Kindly let me know what are steps we should follow to troubleshoot this type of issue.
