How to set permission to read ALL knowledge Objects

NightShark
Path Finder

Hello,

I would like to create a compliance user by allowing read only access to all knowledge objects and dashboards in our Splunk environment. I have allowed read permissions on all apps to that specific role however, me as admin role can view almost double the amount of Alerts, Reports and Dashboards as the compliance role.

What could be the cause here? and what could I be missing? Do I need to edit every single knowledge object and dashboard to allow permission for said role? Is there an easier method of doing this if so?

Thanks,

Regards,

Hi @NightShark ,

check if the not visible knowledge objects are shared or private: admins can see all, other roles cannot see private knowledge objects.

Ciao.

Hello @gcusello ,

I assume that is the case, is there a capability to allow certain roles to view private knowledge objects? Or another easier method to make them do so?

Thanks,

Hi @NightShark ,

only admin, but I don't like to anable to be admin, even if it's a compliance manager, he/she shouldn't access private objects.

Ciao.
