Monitoring Splunk

ERROR UserManagerPro user=“nobody” had no roles

I'm seeing hundreds of these errors in the internal splunkd logs

01-16-2025 12:05:00.584 -0600 ERROR UserManagerPro [721361 SchedulerThread] - user="nobody" had no roles

Is this a known bug? I'm guessing knowledge objects with no owner defined is causing this. It's annoying because it fills the internal logs with noise. Is there an easy workaround without having to re-assign all objects without a valid owner/?

We're seeing this error as well. Appears to have started after an upgrade from 9.1.6 to 9.2.4. Did you find any resolution or root cause? Does seem to be a bug as it started directly at upgrade time.

@paleewawa  Better to assign the knowledge object to a user that has a role and give that role the quota it needs. 

Check this one for work around: https://community.splunk.com/t5/Security/ERROR-UserManagerPro-user-quot-system-quot-had-no-roles/m-p...
