Well, answered my own question. Using the REST function I was able to get the roles and parse them inside my Javascript. var userSearch = new SearchManager({ "id": "userSearch", "preview": "false", "cache": "false", "search": "|rest splunk_server=local /services/authentication/current-context |table roles |mvexpand roles" }, {tokens: false}); userSearch.startSearch(); var roleSearchResults = userSearch.data('results'); roleSearchResults.on("data", function() { var userRoles = roleSearchResults.data().rows; for(var i=0; i<userRoles.length; i++){ console.log(userRoles[i][0]); } }); This code will log the string values of all the roles for the current user to the console.

I am creating a custom dashboard that will be distributed to a wide range of people with varying levels of access. I have found this code to get the current user: require([ 'underscore', 'jquery', 'splunkjs/mvc', ], function(_, $, mvc ) { var tokens = mvc.Components.getInstance("default"); var current=Splunk.util.getConfigValue("USERNAME"); tokens.set("currentuser", current); }); I also need to be able to get user roles, so that I can dynamically set properties in my D3 chart on this dashboard. The only alternative I have found is creating what could become dozens of different dashboards with set permissions, which is not really acceptable as there will be so many different tiers under different branches.

I solved this issue by switching to a base search for all the calculations of lookups and evals, and just used a simple postprocess search created in my javascript code. var dataSearch = new PostProcessManager({ "id": "dataSearch", "managerid": "baseCalcSearch", "search": "|search VSADID=$vsadid$ |table \"VSADID\"" }, {tokens: true}); I was using XML just because of my long search string in a CDATA tag, but keeping the base search in CDATA XML and using these PostProcessManagers worked for me.

Unfortunately no, what I was trying to explain is that the token is set by an onClick event in javascript by a custom D3 chart, it just doesn't trigger the table to refresh. When I make a change to a dropdown on the page (not linked to that token) since it has the searchWhenChanged parameter linked, that other dropdown triggers the refresh.

I am trying to update a table when an item in my javascript chart is clicked. Previously, this worked fine: JavaScript: function drilldown(appName){ tokens.set("vsadid", appName); console.log(appName); mvc.Components.getInstance("drilldownSearch").startSearch(); } Splunk HTML: <div id="drilldownSearch" class="splunk-manager" data-require="splunkjs/mvc/searchmanager" data-options="{ "search": { "type": "token_safe", "value": "|inputlookup combinedrisk.csv | search VSADID=$$vsadid$$ | table VSADID RiskScore FootPrintFactor RiskTag Tier5 Tier4" }, "cache": false, "preview": false }"> </div> But my search string became so complex with single and double quotes and < and > that I wanted to switch to XML to use the CDATA tag. So now my code is: JavaScript: Same Splunk XML: <panel depends="$vsadid$"> <title>Data View</title> <table id="drilldownTable"> <search id="drilldownSearch"> <query><![CDATA[|search VSADID=$vsadid$]] truncated for clarity></query> </search> </table> </panel> Except the problem is that this search does not start unless I change one of the other input drop-downs I have in the dashboard, which cause the searches to run on change. And when the token changes, the table won't change unless I do the same thing. Why is this?
