Splunk user role restriction

Hello Splunker!!

Hope all is good.


I have created a new role in a splunk. I have added some users to that role. I need to restrict that role user to not be able to see the "All Configuration" option in the settings.  Please help me, what settings should I change to get my results?

What I have did so far, but nothing works for me.

[role_Splunk_engineer]
list_all_configurations = disabled
edit_configurations = disabled

Thanks in Advance.

@LogUx Please refer this https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.3.2/Admin/Authorizeconf

Based on what I see the role might have inherited "admin_all_objects" from a different role. & also check “edit_own_objects” and “list_all_objects” capabilities

[capability::admin_all_objects]

* Lets a user access all objects in the system, such as user objects and
  knowledge objects.
* Lets a user bypass any Access Control List (ACL) restrictions, similar
  to the way root access in a *nix environment does.
* the Splunk platform checks this capability when accessing manager pages and objects.

 
Use this 

 

./splunk btool authorize list role_Splunk_engineer --debug

@sainag_splunk I selected below options, this made the settings hidden but the search option became unavailable to the user?

Is it possible to hide these two options also from the setting in Splunk ?

@LogUx that is by splunk's default user role and recommended as best practices. That works with rest_properties_get but if you remove that, you will have different issues, I do not recommend that.

You have different ones which are not needed there like Data inputs, Tokens Server Settings these should be handled by admin.

Typical Splunk user role native capabilities.
