Splunk Search

LDAP user role setting

I have configured LDAP for user authorization and role management. I want all the users in our organization have limited access to our splunk instance, basically they should be able to get in and get limited access to data. I talked to the LDAP admin here and he asked to take out the group based filtering option so that it does not filter users based on any group membership. I tried that but whats happening it it is pulling up all the AD groups but have no roles mapped to it. There are close to 1000 groups getting pulled up that way and i cant sit and assign splunk role to it.

Is there anyway i can assign role to all these groups at one go?

No, but you could get all the users assigned to a Splunk group in the LDAP, and craft your group search accordingly. It is, after all, how LDAP was supposed to be used.

Depending on how your LDAP is built, there may already be a global users group containing everyone.
