@vijreddy30 - which role have you assigned to the User? It seems your user don't have access to that page.

Usually only admin has access to that page.

 

I hope this helps!!! Kindly upvote if it does!!!

@vijreddy30 - There is no concept of "Read access" in Splunk. In Splunk terms, you have to assign role which consist of capabilities.

 

This document describes all the capabilities - https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.1/Security/Rolesandcapabilities 

 

BTW, I don't think you can create a role/user that has only read access based on available capabilities. But you try updating capabilities to that role to see if any combination capabilities. See if any combination works for you.

 

I hope this helps!!!
