Why is index missing in list of indexes while editing roles?

[pharmapartners]

We are running splunk 9.0.5

We want to add an index to the default indexes for a user role, but the index does not show up in the list of indexes in the "Edit User Role" window, tab "Indexes" on the search head

There is data in the index and we do see the index in the monitoring console under Indexing / Index Detail:Deployment

We did also add the following to the /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf on the search head :
[introspection:distributed-indexes]
disabled = false
(And restarted the splunk service on the search head afterwards)

The index was created earlier (before 9.0.5) via the master node file /opt/splunk/etc/master-apps/_cluster/local/indexes.conf (now moved to manager_apps)
A push of the bundle did not make any changes (peers already had the correct version)

What else could be the issue here ?

This is why it's important to push indexes.conf to search heads as well as to indexers.  Of course, the Cluster Manager (CM) will not do that so it's up to you (or your Splunk Admin) to copy indexes.conf to the SHs either manually or via the SHC Deployer.

That did the trick indeed. Thanks a lot.
