Unknown search command 'dbquery' for non-admin users

Hi, I'm getting "Unknown search command 'dbquery'" error when trying to use | dbquery as non-admin user.
I granted read access to Splunk DB Connect dbquery objects for everyone but still experience the same issue. Are there any other privilleges I should explicitly grant?
Regards, Michal

thanks, worked for me. Have you reported it to dbx authors that [commands] stanza is missing by default in local.meta?
