@super_saiyan - It is not recommended to make changes to default apps. Specifically for the SHC environment. I would always avoid it.

You can create a custom App, and put your configuration, dashboard, alert, etc in that instead.

Is there any specific requirement to make changes to the default App? In most cases, you should be able to apply the above resolution.

I hope this helps!!!

Please read this documentation section https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.6/DistSearch/HowconfigurationworksinSHC especially this document https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.6/DistSearch/PropagateSHCconfigurationchanges

There is quite a lot going on with using deployer on SHC so it's important that you understand it.

It's strongly guided to really don't do it, as this normally leads unusable SHC cluster default app and probably also some other issues. 

As other already said, please create your own "Default" app where users should create their KO's etc. and then deploy to it as needed. Even better is create several Apps for them based on your business systems etc. Give to those access by roles and you will get better granularity for security and access to those KOs.
