Splunk SOAR (f.k.a. Phantom)

Permissions issues after migrating to Unprivileged mode-How are we supposed to run unprivileged but complete admin tasks

After updating to unprivileged mode (because privileged is being depcrecated), we are getting access denied issues when running some commands. For example: "phenv ibackup --setup"

So far, the issues seem to be with commands that relate to Postgres.

How are we supposed to run unprivileged, but complete admin tasks?

Note: If I run the commands as root, I get this error: "CommandError: This command must be executed by user phantom."

Thanks!

I have not seen this but I have also asked in the #SOAR community Slack channel.

I highly recommend signing up if not already: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Community/current/community/Chat

@kbuckle7 sorry to hear you are having issuespost-conversion!

Have you engaged support yet??

What version are you? How did you convert? Did you use the migrate.py and it returned no issues/warnings?

Do all your directories under $PHANTOM_HOME now appear to be owned by Phantom?

If you have a support entitlement I would highly recommend raising this as a P2.

Thanks for the quick reply!

We are on version 5.3.3 and ran the migrate.py script.

All directories in /opt/phantom are owned by phantom:phantom

I was hoping the community had seen this before opening a support ticket.
