In splunk, when I log in, there is a dropdown under my name with a link
Edit Account.
Which specific Splunk capability will enable user to edit his/her account to set the default app and set timezone?
Hi Roopaul,
it's the change_own_password
capability. If removed, you still can access the screen but you cannot save any changes.

This is actually incorrect. Removing change_own_password does not prevent the user from changing their timezone.
@ryandg - thanks for pointing this out. Looks like I got this all the way wrong 😕
There is no capability to prevent a user from changing its time zone, but you could try user-prefs.conf
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/User-prefsconf and set the TZ
there - which would then affect all users which is also not the best solution 😕
This could be an option: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/126350/change-multiple-users-timezone.html and to this nightly the make sure the users TZ
are set correct.
Maybe this helps ...
cheers, MuS
Thanks fir the reply.
If i use this capability, the user is able to change the password and since we are using LDAP I dont want to enable this functionality for the usersvia splunk. so is it a way for user only to change the the app and timezone without having the password option?
no, the user cannot change its LDAP password from within Splunk, this is only related to the Splunk user password.
