default.meta [views\setup]

Hello guys,
Does anyone know what views\setup found in default.meta means?

Also if Search & Reporting app default.meta differs by Splunk versions? Is it OK to provide our own logic?

In our configuration, users were not able to share their report (savedsearches)

Thanks.

The setup dashboard [views\setup] is a special kind of dashboard used when an app is first installed.
You would be well advised to not change its settings as you could expose admin functions to non-admin users.

As a general rule. Do Not modify default.meta.
If you need to make advanced changes to permissions make the changes in local.meta

If my comment helps, please give it a thumbs up!

Consult the Splunk Docs on default.meta.conf.spec and read up on what your own configurations would do to app ownership information, access controls, and export settings for Splunk objects like saved searches, event types, and views.

Hello, nothing about \setup in the doc?

there is a default.meta shipped with each unique app. In which app do you see a default.meta with a [views/setup]?
