when I go to search head to change configuration of TA_vectra_detect_json I find this (You do not have permissions to edit this configuration.)
When I go to SearchHead to edit, it tells me this message (You do not have permissions to edit this configuration)
Yes. IF you have a search head cluster (shc), AND you are trying to edit the config on one of the members instead of on the deployer, THEN that's exactly the message I expect you to get.
It *might* be possible to get that if you simply don't have some permission or another that's required, but I think those messages are different ones.
So - Do you have a search head cluster?
If you don't know, then ask your Splunk folks and/or have them manage this config for you.
If you are the Splunk person and don't know what I'm saying (and you built it) then you don't have a SHC and we'll have to look into other things.
(Also, please be careful as to *which* "reply" button you click, so we can keep the threads going correctly instead of being willy-nilly all over the place!)
That specific error is usually caused by you having a Search Head Cluster, then trying to edit configs on a Search Head Member instead of via the Deployer then deploying it.

If that does not seem to be the problem here, then reply back with a few more specifics!
