Not able to view Log events if I log in as user

Hi
I have a situation here. Forwarder is pushing data to the indexer and I can see the logs on Search Head if I login as Admin but I cant see same log events if I login as user.

I also able to view logs if I directly login to indexer.
I am certain its permission issue but not able to resolve it. I have tried with Access Control changes.

Please suggest what I am missing here.

Thanks.

I'm guessing your user doesn't have permission to read from the index that the logs are written to, or some other restrictions have been set on what kind of searches the user can perform. You can check this in the manager (as admin) in the Manager -> Access controls section.
