Is there a way to grant access to a specific index within an app's authorize.conf?

[cee137]

I have index1, index2, and index 3. I want role_user to have access to all three within a specific app. Is there a way to do this?

In $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local my authorize.conf has 

srchIndexesDefault: index1;index2
srchIndexesAllowed: index1;index2

 In $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/myApp/local my authorize.conf has 

srchIndexesDefault: index1;index2;index3
srchIndexesAllowed: index1;index2;index3

Of course, this doesn't work. I understand /system/local wins this conflicting parameter fight. Is there anyway to grant the user role access to index3 within myApp? Or would I have to create a different role that inherits role_user and adds index3 access to achieve this? 

Thanks in advance.

Access to indexes is by role only, not by app.

Darn. Thanks for the concise response!
