Hello

You can use this query to see logged users in splunk web:

| rest /services/authentication/httpauth-tokens | search (NOT userName="splunk-system-user") searchId="" 
 | table userName splunk_server timeAccessed |join type=left userName [| rest /services/authentication/users splunk_server=local 
 |fields title roles realname|rename title as userName|rename realname as Name]
 |rename userName as User |rename splunk_server as "Splunk Server"|rename timeAccessed as "Time Accessed"|rename roles as Role
 |table User,"Splunk Server",Name,Role

Regards
