Splunk Search

I need to set 24hours default search intervals for user role

We have 3 custom roles (user, power user and admin) and i would like to set 24hours as default search interval or block all time option only for all users who are mapped to user role. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA
Jay

Hi jayakumar89,
using the setting highlighted in the attached picture you can prevent from users under a certain role from searching past a certain time
you can also set ui-pref.conf to set default search time. some related answers here:
