Why are app icons only visible to users with the admin role?

[pasokkum]

Hi Team,

When I log in to Splunk Web as a non admin userm I am not able to see the app Icon image. When I log in as an admin, I am able to see all Apps having the required icons. Please let me know if there is any changes or settings that is required to be made.

Error when I inspect element is:

GET https://awsananva1069.jnj.com:8000/en-                     :8000/en-US/splunkd/__raw/servicesNS/test_ca/sos/static/appIcon.png:1 GET https://awsananva1069.jnj.com:8000/en-US/splunkd/__raw/servicesNS/test_ca/sos/static/appIcon.png 403 (Forbidden)

Thanks,
Soumya

You need to add these two capabilities to roles

1. rest_apps_view
   
2. rest_properties_get

One lists the properties of the apps and other gets the information from the listed properties.

You can refer this doc for more information http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.3.1511/Security/Rolesandcapabilities

After adding user role to all the users the issue got resolved.

It is worse than that. Sometimes you get icons and sometimes you don't and I cannot figure out any rhyme or reason for it but the inconsistency of visibility of icons is baffling and it has always been an irritation to me and I have never been able to pin it down but TRUST ME. Admin users can have missing icons sometimes, too.
