Restrict user with write permission to dashboard

[vikashperiwal]

Hi,

I have a case where I was to restrict user from edit option and cloning the dashbaord.

Currently we have 200+ dashboards with read-write permission and we can't exclude them from current role.

What I did now

 I created new role say restricted and plan is to keep every thing as it is and make dashboard enable with new role .

Issue

We have 200+ dashboards, manually doing is not feasible here...is there way I can one shot revoke the write access(current role) and assign dashboard with new role which will restrict users.

Hi @vikashperiwal ,

there isn't any GUI bulk command to do this, the fastest way is to work on the metadata.local file.

Ciao.

Maybe you find another way to do it after you have read this post an especially that conf presentation https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Enterprise/How-do-I-back-up-my-Splunk-knowledge-objects-Is-th...
With correctly created rest queries and then use e.g. curl to send those generated SPLs back to splunk via rest can do what you are looking?
