What capabilities are required for a role to allow users to run a search to check license usage logs?

Hi,

We are planning to give access to a few users to check the license usage and run the search below to find the server that is forwarding a large size of files.

index=_internal source=*license_usage.log type=Usage 
 | stats sum(b) as bytes by h 
 | eval MB = round(bytes/1024/1024,1)
 | fields h MB
 | rename h as host

And we are planning to create a new role for this operation and assigning it to specific users. Can someone suggest what all are capabilities needs to be assigned to that role to get this access? Thanks!

Create a role "licenseuser" and give access to index "_internal". Give all users you want to run this query role as "licenseuser". This should do it.

If that doesnt work then give privilege as "license_tab" to the new role.
