Hello I have csv which look like this
[email protected],10.20.10.223,12/2/2013 20:39,www.google.com
[email protected],10.20.10.223,12/2/2013 20:39,www.yahoo.com

Where as the first column is username, ipaddress, time and url user visit. I already successfully modified props.conf and transform.conf to map csv fields. In splunk i have user account setup for [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]. Is there a way when user a logged in he can only search information which only relevant to him so is with [email protected] and [email protected]. In another word when user [email protected] logged in when he type * or any search term or command so in background it will automatically prepend and run
username=[email protected] | search *

I think that you'd need to set that up statically as a 'search restriction' property for each role within Splunk. I.e. each user must have its own role. Workable if you 20 users, but not if you have 200.
