Hi,

I would like to edit the default dashboards in Enterprise Security ( Security Domains--> Access, Endpoint, Network, identity, Security Intelligence), please let me know what permissions are needed.

 

Thanks,

Guru

Hi @guruprasadds,

I see you are looking to edit the default dashboards in Enterprise Security.

I've seen that users with the "admin" role can edit the dashboards in Enterprise Security. Whenever you edit and save a dashboard in Enterprise Security, Splunk will save the newly edited dashboard in the "local" folder of whatever app it originated from.

  • User, Power, and ESS Admin (Just a few roles I've tested) does not allow the end user to edit dashboards.

Check out this webpage for further explanation on how to configure users and roles for Enterprise Security

Hi, Thanks for your response.

I have one question here, if I grant admin privileges to a user, he/she  get a lot more capabilities and can do anything. Is it possible to restrict or customize roles/permissions to just for dashboards edit.

 

Thanks,

Guru
