How do I disable a Splunk report for a list of users?

I'm looking to disable reports in an app while allowing the data to flow in , for some days, before shutting the server down.

How do I go about this?

I did the above and it worked perfectly for me.

now i have another question , that i get a 404 error when i remove permission for user.

is there any good way to populate this page with some text indicating the new link for users who try ....

Hi I am glad that it works for you !
Well talking about this you would need to work with java script and CSS in order to populate custom message which I do not have knowledge about.
I think you should post a new question with the required o/p.

Hi

I think you would need to separate those users and assign a role to them and then you can manage permissions of your reports based on roles as I do not think you can directly set permission on user basis.and even ideally you should create a role and give all the users that role so in future if you want to add/remove any user you can easily to that from the roles instead for every reports.
