Need to provide user upload lookup only on one particular app permission. Hi I need to assign permission to particular role/User so that they can upload there CSV lookup files to only that perticular app, not to any other apps.

Can anyone help me with it.

Hi @bapun18 

Your user will need a role which has write permissions in the app that you want them to be able to upload a lookup to.

You can update your app's read/write permissions at https://YourSplunkInstance/en-US/manager/permissions/search/apps/local/<YourAppName>

You also need the 'upload_lookup_files' capabilty which is part of the default "user" role and anything which inherits the user role.

This does also mean that a user can upload a lookup to any app which their role has write permissions to.

If you remove the read permission for that user role from the app permission, that user will no longer be able to select that app.
