Splunk Search

Unknown search command 'dbxlookup'.

Hello Community!

I have created a Dashboard with a dbxlookup command in the search.
As an admin, i don't have problems with the Dashboard but users who wants to view it, get the above error message

I have tried to set the security for the database and the identity but without success.
Do you have a clue why this happens?

Thanks
Rob

The dbconnect app adds 2 roles which you need to assign appropriately: dbconnect_admin and dbconnect_user:
