I did find out that the GUI and rest show different things:   REST: | rest /servicesNS/-/-/configs/conf-authorize splunk_server="local" | search title IN (role_power role_atest) | transpose Now the questions are which one is correct and why are they different? ... View more

Thank you for the thought. I actually copied that exact settings from default/authorize.conf for the power role and put it in my role in local/authorize.conf. I then compared the 2 roles with the following: GUI btool /opt/splunk/bin/splunk btool authorize list role_power --debug /opt/splunk/bin/splunk btool authorize list role_atest --debug rest command | rest /services/authorization/roles | search title IN (power atest) | transpose Using all three of these methods of validation the only difference between the roles is the name. Other than that they are exactly the same.   There appears to be something built into the power role that is not exposed under the capabilities settings. If I copy over all of the same settings(capabilities) to my new role I cannot edit KO permissions. If I inherit the power role in my new role I can.   ... View more

I should be very specific and state that it is not an option to edit the permissions on the KO, not that I can't edit the KO itself. Also, this is a KO (dashboard) created by myself in the role so I own it but still cannot edit permissions unless I inherit Power in the new role I created. ... View more

Thank you for the reply but that is not the issue. The issue is that unless I make a new role inherit "power" it cannot edit the KO. It is not even an option. My new role inherits user and I then added all of the missing capabilities that are in the Power role but it still will not let my new role have the option to edit permissions. There must be some capabilities that are not exposed in RBAC and I am trying to figure out what these are. I know some may say just inherit Power and be done. My issue is that if Splunk is not exposing all capabilities in the GUI(edit KO permissions) than what else may I be adding to a role by inheriting Power that I am unaware of? ... View more
