How assign different time zones to different users for the same app?

Hello,

I want to assign one timezone for one set of users(may be around 50 users) and another timezone for another set users(around 40 users) for the same app.

How to achieve this?

or is there a way where we can assign time zones based on the roles?

Thanks.

@chinmayc469,

Try setting that in user-prefs.conf in local folder

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.2/Admin/User-prefsconf

 [role_first_role_name]
 tz =  America/Los_Angeles

 [role_second_role_name]
 tz = GMT

What goes around comes around. If it helps, hit it with Karma 🙂

dint work, it worked when user-prefs set in individual user folder.

i have to go to individual user folder and then set this user-prefs.conf. It will be tedious work if there are more than 50 users.

Is there any other way?
