Security

After removing the permission for dashboard_role from the Search & Reporting app, why can the user no longer log in?

I can login as dashboard_user as long as the dashboard_role has access to "search & Reporting". The moment I take the permission out for the above role from "search & reporting", user cannot login anymore. Error message "404 not found" and "Splunk cannot find the 'dashboards' view"

I noticed that even with only two capabilities dashboard_user (when allowed access in search & reporting, without which user cannot login) was able to create a new dashboard, which I certainly do not want for this user.

Hi guys,

Here are solutions that I propose:

First solution:
Edit permissions of that dashboard. At option Display for tick All apps ;select read and/or write for option Everyone and save.

second solution:
Create the new app for the user; create that dashboard in that new app.

Is the default app for dashboard_role set to Search & Reporting?
