Splunk Cloud Platform

permissions

I added the 'edit user' capability but retrieved only one user from this URL:

/services/authentication/users
 

However, when I added 'power user' permissions, I was able to access most of the users. Could you please clarify what the minimum permissions are to retrieve all users?

Additionally, I encountered a similar issue with the URL for fetching triggered alerts:

/services/alerts/fired_alerts/{ALERT_NAME}
 

What permissions are necessary for accessing this information?

Thanks

You also need the list_all_users capability in your role, to list all users.

For the alerts, your user needs permission to read the alert to fetch triggered alerts.
