Can we hide splunk bar base on role or user?

[Raymond2T]

Hello,

Whenever a user logins to Splunk with some role, I want to hide the Splunk App bar from that specific user/role.

Without using hidesplunkbar=true

How can I achieve it? 

Thanks a lot.

@Raymond2T - You should be able to achieve it with Javascript.

Use the rest-endpoint to get the user role in JS. (run a search query) . And then with JS hide/show Splunk App bar based on user role.

require(['jquery', 'splunkjs/mvc/simplexml/ready!'], function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function () {
        var SearchManager = require('splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager');

        var searchString = '| rest /services/authentication/current-context splunk_server=local | table title roles';

        var mySearchManager = new SearchManager({
                id : "cacheSearch",
                earliest_time : "-24h",
                latest_time : "now",
                autostart : true,
                search : searchString,
                preview : true,
                cache : false
            });

        var myResults = mySearchManager.data("results"); // get the data from that search
        myResults.on("data", function () {
            resultArray = myResults.data().rows;
            $.each(resultArray, function (index, value) {
                // Check for the user role here
                // And hide/show Splunk App panel by modifying CSS property "display" for that HTML component
            });
        });
    });
});

I hope this helps!!!
