Same Query different user with matching permissions does not return results

When I run the below query as an admin it returns results however when run as a user it does not. The user is a power user with admin rights, the time picker is set the same. There are no exclusions from the users rights to indexes ( as far as I can tell)

index="login_data" sourcetype="Login_Data"[search index="hrxref_data" sourcetype="HR_XREF" earliest=-60d (LVL1_MOID="xx" OR MOID="xx") | table SignonID ] | eval SignonID=upper(SignonID) |  bucket _time span=1d | stats count as LoginCount by _time, SignonID | join type=outer SignonID [search index="hrxref_data" sourcetype="HR_XREF" earliest=-60d (LVL1_MOID="xx" OR MOID="xx") | table SignonID EMP_NAME ] | timechart values(LoginCount) as LoginCount by EMP_NAME

Field extractions were private. I thought since I added the admin role that the role would share the same objects. For this project I changed the objects to global.

It looks like the search should work providing the user has access to all the same knowledge objects and indexes.
Check try the following 2 searches.

index="login_data" sourcetype="Login_Data | stats count by SignonID

index="hrxref_data" sourcetype="HR_XREF" | stats values(LVL1_MOID) values(MOID)  values(SignonID) values(EMP_NAME)

If any of the searches or columns are empty, look to see if the user can see the index and that field extractions are not private.

Thanks. You were correct. I made sure the indexes were viewable but the fields were private as well.

What does the job inspector say (little 'i' icon near the time picker)?

Could some field extraction take place in an app's props or transforms, and the user-role does not have access there?
