SPL | REST command does not work when non-Admin

User with these capabilities fails, but ADMIN user works.

alt textThis SPL works fine when logged in as ADMIN, but does not work when logged in as a poweruser account. What capabilities do I need to turn on for user when not ADMIN?

| rest splunk_server=local /services/authentication/httpauth-tokens
| search NOT userName="splunk-system-user"
| eval _time = strptime(timeAccessed, "%c")
| rename userName AS user
| table _time user

Failed to fetch REST endpoint uri=https://127.0.0.1:8089/services/authentication/httpauth-tokens?count=0 from server https://127.0.0.1:8089. Check that the URI path provided exists in the REST API.

@simpkins1958 ,

For the specific rest endpoint you are using, you should add list_httpauths in addition to the rest_properties_get

rest_properties_get should be enough if you want to use GET

rest_properties_get has been enabled and still not working.

If you provide all the capabilities to a user level role it still won't work.  I gave all the capabilites--I mean all still the user didn't have | rest splunk_server=local /services/authentication/ capabilities.  Only the Admin role has.
