Create a role for this group of users. Put the user accounts in the role.

Go to Manager > Apps and change the permissions on each app as you see fit.

You will probably need to go through each app that is enabled, and change the read/write from 'everyone' to something more suited to your needs

Is there any way to deny access to applications by default but only give access to selected applications for a specific role?

see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Security/Addandeditroles

or you set it up by using LDAP http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.1/Security/ManageSplunkuserroleswithLDAP

works only on splunk enteprise, not on splunk free.

• first, you create a role, and eventually put users with that role.
• go to you app settings (manager > apps > permissions) and put the permissions to only the members of this group (and admin at least) this will also be the default permissions to any object of this app (but you can probably change individually later)
