splunk user can schedule reports but not dashboard

[loganramirez]

Hi.

Running 9.0.6 and a user (who is the owner)  can schedule REPORTS, but not DASHBOARDS.

It's a CLASSIC dashboard (not the new fancy one Stooooodio one).

Dashboards --> Find Dashboard --> Edit button --> NO 'Edit Schedule'
Open dashboard, top right export, NO 'Schedule PDF'

My local admin says 'maybe they changed something in 9.0.6), but I'm unconvinced until this legendary community agrees.

"feels" like a permission missing is all.

To schedule a PDF email to a mail server that does not require SMTP authentication, you must have the list_settings capability and use the sendemail command. If you want users who do not have the admin, splunk-system-role, or can_delete roles to be able to send email notifications from their searches, you must grant them the list_settings capability. By default, only the admin, splunk-system-role, and can_delete roles have access to list_settings.

Hello @loganramirez,

Can you confirm if the user trying to schedule a PDF is having the list_settings capability enabled on the role? As mentioned in the following doc, list_settings capability is required to have the menu option populated.

Thanks,
