SAML authentication default role

hifimarko · ‎08-21-2018

We are using Google Suite based SAML app to setup SSO with Splunk Cloud.

As per https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joMR8AbEQ20, the setup currently requires that each user is assigned 'role' metadata so that Splunk can provide the user with correct permissions.

Is there a way to avoid setting the 'role' field for a Google Apps user and have Splunk provide 'user' permissions by default?
