Have you followed the described procedure in the docs how to setup Splunk ES? Did you follow the instructions on the setup page?

What you usually don't want to do, is, install Splunk, install Splunk ES and start directly without a plan.

if there are a few people getting this error than it is likely they do not have any ES permission and thats why they are getting the error.
Check out the user's and roles.

Create a new user with the same permissions as people with the problems are using and try the ES app. Maybe set a different home app to see if you can switch to ES then (or if you can see it at all). If not, it's most likely a permission problem.

If you see es as a admin but not as a user then it is a permission issue. The user needs more then es user, inheret normal user and slowly add permissions till it works.
