Why am I unable to create additional users in Splunk Light?

[mdhtbm24]

I've been setting up Splunk Light and I'm unable to create new users. When I go to system > manage accounts under the admin account, I don't get an option to create additional accounts (see attached screenshot).

in Splunk Light, you can have one admin account, and 5 user accounts. do you already have 5 users?

for reference, the instructions for setting up the accounts are here:

Hi mdhtdm24,

could it be that you have Splunk light free instead Splunk light?

Splunk light free is limited to one user, see docs for more details http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkLight/latest/GettingStarted/AboutSplunkLightaccounts
or this link http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkLight/latest/GettingStarted/AboutSplunkLight#Splunk_Light...

Hope this helps ...

cheers, MuS

Ah yes, it wasn't clear when I downloaded it that there was a difference, but I do indeed have the free version. Thanks for the clarification.
