Splunk Search

SAML users unable to load reports or alerts

SAML authenticated users are unable to access either REPORTS or ALERTS from the search app @ ./app/search/reports or from the top level menu @ Settings/Searches, reports, alerts.  When they attempt to access reports from the Search app, the page stalls at "Loading Reports".  When they attempt to filter on reports or alerts from "Settings/Searches, reports, alerts" a small icon appears at the bottom stating "server error".  The reports are listed, but none are accessible.  If the user is provided a URL to any report, everything works fine.  The ability to browse the list is what is broken.  Finally, if a user goes to "Settings/Searches, reports, alerts" and DOES NOT leaves "Type:All", everything works fine.  If the selection is changed to "Type:Reports" or "Type:Alerts" the error appears at the bottom

Debug logs do not reveal anything obvious

The permissions used for the SAML users is the default "power" role.  I tried moving test users to Admin role, no change.  Also, all local authenticated users in the same role work fine
