Hello,

I am trying to display couple of Dashboard Panels only to a specific user. For that i am trying to get the username and set the token if its matches with a certain value.

But somehow if i use condition tag its not working and "have_access" token is not getting set.

 

 

 <row>
    <panel>
      <search>
<query>| rest /services/authentication/current-context splunk_server=local  | eval access=if(username="kkan","True","False") | where access = True</query>

<preview>
   <condition match=" 'job.resultCount' != 0">
      <set token="have_access">True</set>
    </condition>
</preview>

        </search>
   </panel>
 </row>

<row>
    <panel depends="$have_access$">
..............

 

 

Anyone , @niketn  please help.
